The range of JDKs our users use is broad. Considering just JDK17, even minor changes in javac in its patch releases releases can potentially affect IDE's operation. With bundled Javac (e.g. the automatically generated one), Apache NetBeans controls (and can test before update) what version will be shipped with a release. If we do some magic depending on the actual runtime, the user may face "random" errors depedning on automatic OS updates (newer JDK patch release installed) etc. I am against introducing such magic, and if so, it should be opt-in, not the default. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
