   Thank you @neilcsmith-net:
   
   > Interesting exercise, ... adds complexity to the build, 
   
   The complexity is fairly isolated into its own `NbJavacLoader` class. Beyond 
that there are just [three executable 
lines](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5609/files#diff-2e6575e0d5f99cfd495a77cb8c35ab906d34f9dd2ea1aa9c93156a180a237ab3R132)
 in `CustomJavac` task. I can refactor the `NbJavacLoader` to be a separate top 
level class, if that feels better.
   
   
   > and isn't really the best test of nb-javac IMO. 
   
   Real project test is always a good test. In fact there are already two cases 
where the _"dog food test"_ helps `nb-javac` get better:
   - warnings that need to be addressed: 
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/5609#discussion_r1141264240
   - https://github.com/JaroslavTulach/nb-javac/pull/11
   
   
   > If this change helps with testing upstream, it could go in. 
   
   Yes, it does help. The testing is ready to go in: 
https://github.com/JaroslavTulach/nb-javac/pull/17
   
   > We could even consider running that build test in CI here, 
   
   Great, 7de1422 adds the GitHub Actions run and [it has 
succeeded](https://github.com/apache/netbeans/actions/runs/4459083199/jobs/7831316138).
   
   > but I'd probably limit that to nb-javac update PRs. We don't have 
unlimited capacity.
   
   OK, guidance to adjust 7de1422 welcomed.
