GitHub user eirikbakke added a comment to the discussion: Windows clipboard issues discussion
There was a "NB 25 Paste from Clipboard Problem Worse?" message on the nbusers mailing list now; I answered it with a link to @xxDark's agent. Based on the discussion, my own proposal would be the following: 1) Don't wait for an OpenJDK fix. (Rationale: It will take many releases, and we are quickly losing users over the issue.) 2) Do ship a solution with the _official_ NetBeans binaries, not just with community installers. (Rationale: Many users will download the official Apache binaries only.) 3) Use the agent-based approach instead of patch-module. (Rationale: The alternative, of doing patch-module with WClipboard.java, involves legal clearance and external packaging hurdles.) 4) Allow this specific bug to be fixed with an agent even though we may be trying to avoid agents in other, separately discussed, cases. (Rationale: Basic cut-and-paste between applications is exceptionally important, as it is needed by 100% of users. And a single-purpose agent can be removed entirely once the bug is fixed in OpenJDK.) This of course assumes that someone finds the time to work on it... but it's good to know in advance that a PR that follows this approach would actually get accepted.
