Hello Geertjan and other readers,
Your observation makes sense, but the strange thing is that I did uninstall
nb-javac via NB's menu Tools->Plugins. So it's shown under "Available Plugins".
Also I can successfully refactore-rename methods etc in my mid-sized project,
which hasn't been working with an installed nb-javac. Like Thomas suggested,
disabling nb-javac wasn't enough, it had to be un-installed.
I even tried with a fresh NB profile, but the null pointer exceptions keep up
coming.
This is all very strange to me. Since indeed the nb-javac mention is in the
stacktrace.
Maybe I should try NB 11.3 ?
Thanks.
Greetings,
Hans

Since this is in the stacktrace, nb-javac must still be present, i.e., has
not been uninstalled:
at org.netbeans.lib.nbjavac.services.NBAttr.visitClassDef(NBAttr.java:66)

Mainly useful for running NetBeans itself on JDK 8 as far as I know.
And for supporting versions of JDK above what the IDE is running on.
Maybe it's time to take the plunge and stop supporting NetBeans on JDK
8 from 12.1?!
Best wishes,
Neil
