Hi Geertjan
Thank you for your email. I tried it out in a few ways.
Test 1
I build my test app which looks almost identical to yours. I set project
properties to use JDK-11 for both source and build
I found the application built and ran within the Netbeans environment with
Netbeans 10vc2 using the *--jdkhome* set to running on JDK-11.
Test 2
I also tried running the jar file in the dist folder from the command
line.
*prompt> <path-to>/jdk-11/bin/java -jar dist/JavaApplicationXXII.jar*
That gave an error message
*Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
org/apache/logging/log4j/LogManager at
javaapplicationXXII.JavaApplicationXXII.<clinit>(JavaApplicationXXII.java:17)Caused
by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException:
org.apache.logging.log4j.LogManager at
java.base/jdk.internal.loader.BuiltinClassLoader.loadClass(BuiltinClassLoader.java:582)
at
java.base/jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoaders.java:178)
at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521)
... 1 more*
Test 3
I also tried to build the application with jlink packaging.
This may not be an error: I do not know if one is permitted to use an
automatic module in a jlink packaged build.
During the clean & build, the following error line appeared at the end of
the clean & build process
...* <*snip> ...
*Error: automatic module cannot be used with jlink:
org.apache.logging.log4j.core from
file:///<path-to>/Log4j2/apache-log4j-2.11.1-bin/log4j-core-2.11.1.jarResult:
1*
*-post-deploy:deploy:jar:BUILD SUCCESSFUL (total time: 1 second)*
I hope there is enough information to be useful. Please ask if you would
like me to provide more.
Regards
Emma
