Problems/Exceptions with NB 16 RC-2

After waiting way too long for a ctrl-click to "Go to Declaration" to finish, I noticed the following exception, which doesn't make sense. (can't find java.lang package?) "Go to Declaration" took nearly 30s, got the "long operation..." popup. The IDE has been open with this project for days,

NetBeans cache directory X seems to be abandoned - Removal silently fails on Windows 11

I just finished going through about a dozen abandoned cache directories that the Janitor Scan identified and told NB to remove them all. (Tediously, one at a time. It would be better if when I clicked on the message for one of them, they could all be listed in a single "Janitor Scan" dialog so I

Re: Compatibility with JDK 8: Shift work to people wanting it (was: Re: Lets talk about JDK 8 (new year edition))

Some minimum JDK level needs to be specified. While this is basically arbitrary based on the needs of the platform and work required to support it, I think it makes sense that the minimum should be some LTS version. To get the widest audience would suggest that version should be the oldest LTS

Re: log4j

I just took a look at the code and there is only one commented out line that mentions log4j in the html validator code. "git grep log4j" shows the string appearing in plenty of other places, but it doesn't look like log4jh actually gets used anywhere! Scott On Thu, Mar 23, 2023 at 9:59 PM Eirik

Codeium Plugin?

I recently tried out the Codeium plugin in VSCode and was very impressed. See https://codeium.com/ - it's an AI assistant similar to those offered by GitHub Copilot and TabNine. But I miss it in my favourite IDE. I'm not familiar enough with NetBeans internals to try to integrate it myself, but I

NB 17rc3 (and I think 16) code editor misbehaves sometimes after deleting lines

Has anyone else noticed that after deleting a bunch of lines the cursor will refuse to move beyond a certain area using just the cursor keys? E.g. I delete a chunk of lines and then hold cursor-down (or up), but the cursor moves a few lines and then resets back to the beginning of the area where I

How to screw up the NetBeans 17 macOS installer post-install script

This is just a heads-up to any keeners like me that hack their own app bundle for the betas... I had NB 17-rc3 already installed.. I basically had copied the NB 16 application bundle, changed the info.plist so that it claimed to be 17, and copied the NB 17-rc3 binary zip contents into the

Re: [Lazy Consensus] Minimum JDK build and run policy (dropping JDK 8)

As far as basing decisions on actual data goes, I agree completely. Do we have any data on how many users would be affected by dropping JDK 8 support in future NetBeans versions? I’m talking real numbers here, not a few people stating, “I would like it to run on Java 8”. That is: - How many

Re: AW: [Lazy Consensus] Minimum JDK build and run policy (dropping JDK 8)

Just to be clear, there is no "hate" on my part. I know the "tone" is hard to communicate via email. I just disagree that Java 8 support should continue in the main codebase. When I suggest that a Java 8 compatible fork is how to proceed, I wish you all the best of success with it. If you have

Re: [Lazy Consensus] Minimum JDK build and run policy (dropping JDK 8)

+1 Java 8 LTS technically ended a year ago (with “extended” support available until 2030). Android shouldn’t be the boat anchor holding NB back. (Android isn’t even a supported platform for Java 8. https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/javase/products-doc-jdk8-jre8-certconfig.html) There is

Seems to be working well. I see Gradle 8.3-rc-3 is available, but didn't make it into NetBeans19-RC4. I haven't noticed any regressions, so I would try to squeeze in whatever the latest artifact is for Gradle 8.3 when the final NB 19 build is made. Scott On Fri, Jul 28, 2023 at 11:02 AM
