Hi Michael, All my projects use “IDE-wide” in the project property hints as that seems to be the default. The problem I’m having isn’t that Netbeans can’t find “Netbeans Java Hints”. The problem is that when I try to define a configuration via the Source-Inspect… dialog, it lets me define it and hit the “Inspect” button, but the results tab simply shows “Required Plugin Missing” even when the configuration I’ve defined and run uses the built-in “Netbeans Java Hints". As a matter of fact, you don’t even have to define a configuration - just select the “Default” one - which uses the “Netbeans Java Hints” analyzer from the drop-down and hit “Inspect”. You’ll still see (at least I do) the result of “Required Plugin Missing”.
Sure looks like a big ‘ole bug to me. I’m running NB 12.6 w. Java 17 on macOS, but I don’t think that’s relevant here.
