In my mind the jdk checker would be different on the two repo and NetBeans having his own lifecycle, and maybe ease preparation of release.
Eric But I'm fine to build NetBeans on jdk 8 and runit on jdk 13 for now. -----Message d'origine----- De : Jan Lahoda <lah...@gmail.com> Envoyé : vendredi 28 février 2020 23:03 À : Apache NetBeans <dev@netbeans.apache.org> Objet : Re: Platform has to continue to support Java 8, imho was: Pull the plug from Java 8 in 12.1? Possible, probably yes. Might be quite some work to make it run, though. Anyway - not sure if that would bring significant benefits if we wanted to keep the platform on 8 and move the rest (i.e. what would be made simpler by this? We can ensure platform is buildable by and runs on 8 even in a single repo).
