The tools include such popular applications like VisualVM. As we produce GraalVM+JDK8 bundle, we need the NetBeans Runtime and applications built on top of it to run on JDK8. Btw. I am sure other NetBeans Platform users are in the similar position. If you want OracleLabs members to contribute to Apache NetBeans, then the NetBeans Platform (at least, possibly also ide, webcommon and java clusters) shall compile and execute on JDK8. -jt Neil mentioned it in the user's chat first regarding that we have issues > with nb-javac from time to time. > > As we know our mid term plan is/was to rely on javac tooling instead of > habing to maintain the nb-javac fork. > > Right now NetBeans run fairly well on standard javac, however when the > IDE is running on Java 8 we need the nb-javac. > > I think removing Java 8 support as runtime shall be not a big deal, it > would be a few thing less to worry about.
