Hi All,
I have been having great difficulty in getting a Platform installer to
work with a bundled JDK 11...
After much hard work, I eventually had great success with JDK 8 JREs
(Using both Open JDK and Zulu), starting off by following the
instructions from https://dzone.com/articles/including-jre-in-nbi
Now trying to migrate to JDK 11, I am using jlink to create a JRE and
bundle this in the same way. Works on Linux, but no matter what I try,
the installer always objects on Windows, saying that there is no Java
available, which is maddening because it just extracted the JVM and
executed it with it's test-java-class (I think...).
I would like to examine the tmp directory that the installer creates,
but it deletes that and I cannot find a switch to disable that behaviour.
I can't understand how the NBI installers are actually created - the
relationship between the C code, exe launchers, shell scripts,
nbi.engine, harness/libs.nbi.engine is unclear to me and the NBI
Developer page doesn't explain the details. http://wiki.netbeans.org/NBI
My feeling is that there is work to be done for updating the NBI system
and I would be happy to help - but I don't know how to build it surgically.
Has anyone out there had real success with a bundled JDK11 installer on
Windows yet?
Some of the scripting to create the JVM and output of my installer is
here: https://gist.github.com/phipma/a513d4f8e7a6a93811ffde09fbedf6ce
Thanks

Hi,
Thanks for the update.
Yes, I think that may be the case (it was not recompiled). I didn't find
nlw.exe from the Netbeans10 source and now I remember that I populated that
from Netbeans 9.0.... including the problematic source. It's good that it's
now fixed.
I will try to find recompiled nlw.exe as I'm having trouble recompiling a
working one using VisualStudio 2017 (the project was using Visual Studio
2005).
Regards,
MH

Maybe we are looking at different versions of JavaUtils.c but to me it
looks like it has a small parser and it expressly supports major
versions with more digits:
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/blob/master/nbi/engine/native/launcher/windows/src/JavaUtils.c#L138
This has been fixed since Aug 21st by Andreas Hauffe in
NETBEANS-1157, see
https://github.com/apache/incubator-netbeans/commit/57cb8c469fb6024de3a3b9702fa468302acb4039#diff-f0f864825c4c1d5461c1a84cc9aa9e00
So you are saying the exe file from NetBeans 10 is not good? Maybe we
never recompiled it?

Hi,
I think there is a bug in nbi's JavaUtils.c, line 125
(Function getJavaVersionFromString), when it's used to unpack JVM of
version 10 or above such as OpenJDK11. This will affect netbeans launcher
on windows (nlw.exe) and thus need to have it rebuild after code fix.
The current codes' assumption is that Java version (java -version) show
MAJOR.MINOR and the MAJOR only has one digit (e.g. 1.8, 1.7 etc). Codes
use
string[1] to check "." first. For OpenJDK11, the java -version will show
11.X... and thus the dot "." will not appear at the string[1]. As a
result,
result code of "ERROR_OK" will not be assigned and JVM unpacking will
fail.
I have never committed codes to netbeans myself and thus will leave
this
for someone more familiar with the code committing process to review
first
and then commit if necessary. Hope this will help those whom may need
NetBeans launcher to unpack JVM during installation process on windows.
Thanks and regards,
MH
