I cannot really recommend, but you might have to try the developement
versions nbm-s from the enterprise cluster

TL;DR NetBeans 10, Java 11, NB 8.2 EE plugins and WildFly 15 don't work
consistently.
When I used the recent binary for NB 10, the WildFly plugin from the 8.2 EE
plugins no longer functioned. It went thru the motions but WildFly did not
appear as a server. It did work in vc3. So, I decided to compile the latest
version from the sources zip found at
https://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans/incubating-10.0/incubating-netbeans-10.0-source.zip.
When I neglected to change my JAVA_HOME from 11 back to 8 it would not compile
with Ant which is expected. What troubled me was that the errors that came in
the 1 minutes and 30 seconds that it ran mainly had to do with missing XML
libraries. I suspect that these are the libraries that Oracle removed. Will it
ever be possible to compile NetBeans with JDL 11 or greater?
I changed the JAVA_HOME to point to Java 8 and ANT was happy and it started to compile. What
is puzzling is the continuous stream of warnings either with Generic notation, deprecated
classes or using soon to be forbidden Java internals. A common warning is : warning: unknown
enum constant When.ALWAYS" along with a number of other "When" enums.
Compile on Windows took 41 minutes. I have been told that on Linux it takes
about half that time. Despite all the warnings NetBeans started up fine now
using JDK 11.
With nb up and running I went immediately to Tools -> Plugins and updated
nbjavac Library and Oracle JS Parser Implementation.
I went to Plugins -> Settings and activated NetBeans 8.2 plugin portal.
I went to Plugins -> Installed and activated them all.
I went to Plugins -> Available Plugin and checked off Check for Newest and all
the 8.2 plugins appeared. I selected all the Java Web and EE plugins and the REST
HTML 5 Client. In total there were 11 plugins selected.
Next I setup a connection to MySQL. I went to the Services tab and right mouse
clicked on Servers and selected new connection.
For the MySQL (Connector/J driver) I added the MySQL 8 driver.
On the next screen I needed to edit the JDBC URL. It defaults to:
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql?zeroDateTimeBehavior=convertToNull
but MySQL 8 requires:
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/mysql?zeroDateTimeBehavior=CONVERT_TO_NULL
Final step was to add the WildFly server.
No change, I can select WildFly, point to its folder and get the domain field
correctly filled in from previous attempts. But when I give the final OK the
server does not appear under Servers.
Now it gets interesting. After the third attempt to add WildFly it worked and
it appeared under Servers. Then I closed NetBeans, restarted and the WildFly
server was no longer shown. Attempts to add it back failed even though nb did
remember the WildFly setup. I need consistent behaviour in the classroom and it
does not look like nb 10 in an EE environment can do it.
All of this means that I will have to use NetBeans 8.2, Java 8 and Payara as I
have for the past two years. This will have a minimal impact on my curriculum
other than having to explain why we are still using a 4 year old version of
Java. Sigh.
