Hi, Current NetBeans does not start on JDK 11: $ java --version openjdk 11-ea 2018-09-18 OpenJDK Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11-ea+4) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11-ea+4, mixed mode)
$ ./netbeans Error occurred during initialization of boot layer java.lang.module.FindException: Module java.xml.bind not found The reason is that some modules have been removed from the JDK: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/320 And etc/netbeans.conf is requesting some of them using --add-modules: -J--add-modules=java.activation,jdk.jshell,java.xml.bind I hope the need for java.activation was fixed by: https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/commit/738fa7899e3139bf4c7a4afbb719578deb5aa0f9 So we possibly could just remove java.activation from the list. I am not sure yet if jdk.jshell is needed or not, but that module is in JDK 11, so should not be problematic at this time. The module that remains is java.xml.bind, which is problematic. It was added to fix: https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=270672 I wonder if there's a way to fix that problem without using the java.xml.bind JDK module. Matthias, any idea? Thanks, Jan
