My memory failed me, it's not a dialog, but a notification: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r3743d8d20e8760be2c91da7c236382a63d60358aca4415ba5743b7a3%40%3Cusers.netbeans.apache.org%3E
I believe it's not installed by default because it wasn't donated (and won't be apparently) to Apache, and also because some users report issues caused by it when not running on JDK 8: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/r3743d8d20e8760be2c91da7c236382a63d60358aca4415ba5743b7a3%40%3Cusers.netbeans.apache.org%3E Here's an overview of nb-javac https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+nb-javac What I gather from the mailing list is that Netbeans is clearly moving away from nb-javac. What I don't understand is if it's also moving away from CoS and "Copy Static Resources" or maybe implement it in a more maintainable way (like, only for Maven/not-JDK8 users) I personally run netbeans 11.3 on OpenJDK 11.0.7 and my ant web project is compiled with that same JDK using --source 8, and haven't encountered any issues. Out of curiosity can I know what type of project, JDK version, and source level you are using?
