-----------------------------------------
Summary: Let's NetBeans Java Support work with --release X flag
Key: NETBEANS-5339
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-5339
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: java - Source
Affects Versions: 12.0
Reporter: Jaroslav Tulach
Assignee: Jan Lahoda
Since JDK9 there is {{-release}} flag which can specify which JDK API one
wishes to compile against. Time to use it in NetBeans!
Historically NetBeans Java support tries to detect a JDK one is running on and
decrease the requested {{--source}} level to the supported JDK. This is very
annoying and in the context of {{--release}} flag, unnecessary.
Modern {{javac}} compiler have snapshot JDK API for each version since JDK7 to
the latest JDK. Regardless on which version the NetBeans IDE is running, people
should be able to select the right release/target JDK and get errors according
to its API.
By default a specified {{--source}} (by a SourceVersionQuery) should also imply
appropriate {{--release}}. There might be other means how to control both
source as well as release.
