> It was communicated ad infinitum in advance. We officially dropped support for building with JDK 11 with NetBeans 13, and the IDE binaries have been built with JDK 11 since 12.6. There were loose ends to tidy up to get all of our CI on JDK 11, hence The local build using JDK8 actually **stopped working** only last Friday (?). To that time, I could happily build `master` using JDK8 environment. As I (+ certain colleagues) and certainly some other people developing netbeans are totally lazy (I call that "conservative") and won't change the work environment (which is often used for other projects, too) unless necessary, as each change is for worse, obviously :) Yes, the plan was set up. But the timing to actually publish plan's implementation was a little uncoordinated, IMHO. So if pioneering a change that affects the whole, it's better to be louder about it than just merge. > The NB13 VSCode support was built with JDK 11 too - https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/release130/20/artifact/dist/vsix/ And that build job has support for VSCode plugin now - https://ci-builds.apache.org/job/Netbeans/job/netbeans-TLP/job/netbeans/job/vsnetbeans_preview_1303/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/dist/vsix/ That's interesting ! Anyway, if I just switched JDKs on my local machine, or for the vscode dev build ot Apache CI, the vscode build just failed as recorded in the link above. Most probably because changes that added `--add-modules` [were added past NB13](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/commit/7bc17f5dd0edb4c7f61f08a880c65522d4699feb) -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
