Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-6349:
----------------------------------------
[~blocked] this is the people responsible taking action! That text should be
updated, as well to say that JDK 17 is fully supported (it's been copied over
from 12.5 release). JDK 8 support is legacy and will be dropped - NetBeans 13
release candidate will be available in a couple of weeks. If you _really_ need
to run the IDE on JDK 8, then I would stick to 12.5 for now.
[~geertjan] what do you think we should do with this on the website - make JDK
11 a requirement for the 12.6 convenience binaries at this point in time?
Source release should still work with JDK 8.

> Key: NETBEANS-6349
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6349
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: editor - Parsing & Indexing
> Affects Versions: 12.5, 12.6
> Reporter: Thomas Schapitz
> Priority: Critical
>
> There are 6 linked Issues, that all follow a common pattern, pointing to a
> common cause:
> * They are accompanied by an java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:
> java.nio.CharBuffer.flip()Ljava/nio/CharBuffer;
> * The users indicate, they are running NB 12.5+ with JDK8
> * The errors occur during parsing.
> Sure enough, JDK 8 hasn't
> java.nio.CharBuffer.flip()Ljava/nio/{*}+CharBuffer+{*},
> it has only java.nio.CharBuffer.flip()Ljava/nio/{+}*Buffer,*{+} which it
> inherits from Buffer.
> Which means: the Module in question has obviously been compiled against a
> library more recent then JDK8, at least JDK9, which has this method.
>
> Consequences:
> This and the 6 linked issues will automatically be fixed with the rollout of
> NB 13, which will require JDK 11 as prerequisite anyway.
> In the mean time, users may work around the problem, by immediately switching
> to JDK 9+ when executing Netbeans. Note that they should still be able to
> develop and build for JDKs 8 an prior.
