BTW, I just created a NB Platform application, set my build of JDK 12
(which is my runtime platform for my NB IDE), as the platform for the
application, and ran that - seems to build and run (there are some rough
edges in the editor, though). So it seems that it is possible to create at
least some NB applications using JDK 9+.
What might be more complex is a NB Platform application that enhances the
Java support, but I suspect most platform apps don't do that.
Regarding build of NetBeans itself, that is more complex (as, from the
reactions on this thread, it seems there are platform apps that need to
work on JDK 8; and also because of the size of the NB build). Are there any
volunteers to investigate what can be done here?
Thanks,
