I haven't followed the whole thread here, but couldn't NetBeans auto-disable nb-javac if needed?
If nb-javac is only supposed to work for Java 8 runtimes then perhaps NetBeans should just use it as a fallback? Although, my impression is that some features are not implemented and nb-javac is more or less mandatory for the full Java editing experience. --emi On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 4:41 PM Geertjan Wielenga <geert...@apache.org> wrote: > > Definitely try 11.3. > > And possibly nb-javac is disabled, though still installed. > > Gj > > On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 3:39 PM Hans Grimmelshausen HG <far...@mail.de> wrote: >> >> 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.
