Because nb-javac is just a backported version of javac.  In NB31 it's
a version of javac from JDK 27, backported to run on earlier JDK's.
Despite the name, it is not directly produced by the Apache NetBeans
project - https://github.com/JaroslavTulach/nb-javac

Lombok does not claim to support javac from JDK 27.  Once they do, it
should mostly work with the current nb-javac in NB31.

There is nothing to coordinate.  If they stopped playing around with
compiler internals, there wouldn't be an issue.  If they want odd
numbered NetBeans versions not to break, they need to support javac in
advance of its release.

I would also point you at this reply from Jan Lahoda on a recently
reported issue.
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/9542#issuecomment-5203085775
 It explains clearly why NetBeans (and also Oracle's VSCode plugin
based on NetBeans) will never fully support Lombok.  If it works, it
works.  If it doesn't, that's due to deficiencies in Lombok, not
NetBeans.

Best wishes,

Neil
