Based on the current outlook, below table has the plan for releasing nb-javac

Thanks for this. I'd planned to start a thread on nb-javac after 12.1
is out, from a release manager perspective with 12.1 and 11.2 in
particular.
Obviously JDK schedule is important here, but so is ours, and with
both 12.1 and particularly 11.2, the delay in integrating nb-javac for
testing has caused real problems.
I think, if we are to continue delivering nb-javac to NetBeans then we
need to ensure support lands in master before freeze dates, ideally at
least a couple of weeks before, so that teething problems can be
ironed out before beta1.
Which would leave us, by your schedule, needing nb-javac-15 to be
ready for ~Oct 1st and nb-javac-15.2 to be ready for ~Feb 1st. Are
those realistic?
Oct 1st for nb-javac-15 seems workable, however at the moment I am not
certain if we can make 1st Feb for nb-javac-15.2
I'm not sure if we want to deliver nb-javac-15.1 - ideally we wouldn't
need to push an update for it while it's packaged as currently.
What's the thought behind that? Maybe we need to consider whether it
can be delivered via plugin portal again, or if current discussions on
CPE allow and we can guarantee it's all under CPE we might be able to
ship directly in one module?
_//_The primary reason for these patches are to be able to make changes
from javac into nb-javac.
These updates would synchronize nb-javac with the javac source code from
the corresponding JDK updates, thereby picking up any relevant changes,
e.g. critical bug fixes./
/
With any of the above, it would be good to improve access to the
source code and building instructions from a license compliance
point-of-view.
Currently the source code is present in
https://hg.netbeans.org/main/nb-java-x/, and the step-by-step building
instructions are present in "readme.md" file.
