@mbien the idea is to allow more modules to adopt 11. The whole of NetBeans doesn't have a requirement to run on 8 any more, but a lot of parts do. This was discussed on dev@ as was the choice to build the 12.6 convenience binaries on JDK 11 to make sure our build processes were ready. I'm surprised this particular bug got through user testing, which in some ways shows we're not getting anywhere near enough of that on JDK 8 to keep supporting it. It's worth remembering that ASF only releases sources! And the source release is still JDK 8 compatible. Doing an extra binary zip build of 12.6 with JDK 8 is an option if anyone wants to do it. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
