I noticed this as well when I built Netbeans from source in order to test a patch.
I needed to at least activate the Java SE plugins in order to get the Maven repository entry to show up in Services. This required me to install nb-javac, even though I was running on JDK 11. The build was done on JDK 8, but I'm not sure why that should be an issue. If it's of interest, I can build with JDK 11 to see if this still happens. . . . just my two cents /mde/ On 4/19/2020 1:36 PM, Kenneth Fogel wrote: > Then why doesn't NetBeans take no for an answer.
