Is there a recommended approach for migrating Netbeans plugins to Netbeans 9/JDK9? Can I expect to achieve a plugin that works on JDK9/NB9 and is backwards compatible with NB8, or should I be forking and maintaining two plugins?
My early attempts haven't been all that successful. I have been trying to modify an existing Netbeans Plugin and Suite project, but after fixing one dependency issue after another, and trying to run the Suite, I get a bunch of errors like org.netbeans.modules.debugger.jpda.ui - The module named org.netbeans.modules.options.java was needed and not found. org.netbeans.modules.java.source.queries - None of the modules providing the capability org.netbeans.modules.java.source.queries.spi.QueriesController could be installed. org.apache.tools.ant.module - The module named org.netbeans.modules.options.java was needed and not found. org.netbeans.modules.apisupport.installer - The module org.apache.tools.ant.module would also need to be installed. org.netbeans.modules.ant.freeform - The module org.apache.tools.ant.module would also need to be installed. org.netbeans.modules.ant.browsetask - The module org.apache.tools.ant.module would also need to be installed. And there are no project types available to create in the resulting NB instance (I guess because it couldn't find any of the modules). Steve
