BK,

Maybe start here?

https://github.com/oracle/nb-javac

You'll have to clone the repository (or release tag, or release) from a place where you do have Internet access, and then go through the appropriate channels to bring it into your environment.

Once there, you should be good to either build it or install it on a local NetBeans platform.

If you need it in your air-gapped environment and have an internal Maven repository, then install the binaries there. That way other folks can download the JAR files, and copy them to the appropriate locations.

. . . just a thought

As for nb-javac, I'm struggling here.

Could you point me to the correct link/location for the correct "nb-javac" to download?

I can't get Netbeans to quit asking me to install nb-javac on my network disconnected Windows installation even after installing the plugin.

Thanks,

BK

Download nb-javac at home where you have Internet, put it on a usb stick, take the usb stick to work, upload nb-javac into your environment, then install it via the Plugin Manager.

Or use a later version of the JDK where you don’t need nb-javac, i.e., any version after JDK 8, or wait until NetBeans 13, in the first months of 2022, where nb-javac will be part of NetBeans.

Best to start moving away from JDK 8, though. There are now two LTS releases since 8.

    Yep, it installs fine. But activating the Java parts of the IDE
    doesn't
    work without being forced to download/install the nb-javac
    plugin/module. And I can't do that in the stand-alone network
    environment I'm in (air-gapped.)

    So, I'm trying to find a way to install the nb-javac without Internet
    access. Everything I've tried always ends up with the IDE to keep
    asking
    to install nb-javac.
