Hi, Two comments: -I know some people that have NetBeans platform application, and target JDK 8. I hope they'll comment here. -regarding JDK 11 and (nb-)javac - while the Java editing using JDK 11's javac is possible, I think it still leaves a lot to be desired (for example, IIRC, there were some improvements to lambda error recovery in JDK 12, which improved at least Java code completion).
