> I.e., why do you want to compile & build with JDK 8 and run with JDK 11?
e.g. because I still need to support Java 8, but also want to test Java 11. Sometimes Swing behaves differently between the two, and it would be convenient if I could run the application using Java 11 from within NetBeans without the need to switch the whole project to a different Java Platform before doing so. Additionally, e.g. the Microsoft JDBC drivers are very picky about the JDK. A driver intended for Java 8 will refuse to load when running on Java 11 (and obviously vice versa). So again I have to change the whole project to a different platform, or swap out the driver depending on how I start my application.
