Dear Geertjan and Laszlo, Oh dear - of course it's my Partitions5 class that's messing things up. Update its properties and it all compiles and runs fine.
I owe you a LOT of thanks for your patience - If you're ever in Salisbury, UK, I'll buy you a beer (or whatever you drink as long as it's not vintage champagne). I'm obviously getting too old to be using Java.....

I just run into something like this a few days ago building a NetBeans module. Though I did not find the issue and had no time to deep dive into the details. Switching the Project to use OpenJDK 8 has solved this issue. So I'd recommend to install Java 8 inside of the ide as Tools > Java Platforms, then change to that platform in the project settings. In order to solve the original issue we would need real logs. Just execute the ant build in debug mode, then send the debug output. I'm sorry, but screenshot won't help in this case.

I had opened the project (well, a copy of it so as not to disturb the original which works in NB version 8) in NB 11 and gone through the error resolution. Changing the source/target to JDK8 doesn't change anything - see attached screenshot.

Either go back to Java 8 or add javac.source=1.8 and javac.target=1.8 in your project properties.

But it won't build - I get a warning and 2 errors: warning: [options] bootstrap class path not set in conjunction with -source 6 ??error: Source option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later. ??error: Target option 6 is no longer supported. Use 7 or later.??BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds) I can't see any way of changing this as there aren't any project options to change the source or target, even if I knew what they were referring to. Stackoverflow gives remedies for this, but only for Maven. This project was built using Ant in NB 8 which I assume is carried over to NB 11. The only likely reference that I can see is in build-impl.xml which is firmly marked "DO NOT EDIT"! But the comment implies that the properties aren't being overridden correctly. <target depends="-pre-init,-init-private" name="-init-user"> ?? <property file="${user.properties.file}"/> ?? <!-- The two properties below are usually overridden --> ?? <!-- by the active platform. Just a fallback. --> ?? <property name="default.javac.source" value="1.6"/> ?? <property name="default.javac.target" value="1.6"/> ?? </target>?? Any ideas where to go from here please?
