The support for loading / offloading of java modules at runtime has emerged: https://github.com/moditect/layrry
For the compatibility with recent JDKs, I was referring to: - nbm-maven-plugin relies on pack200, which has been removed from the JDK (http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/netbeans-users/202102.mbox/browser). Granted, this is a plugin not the NetBeans platform itself, but as a user of the tool this is blocking. - not sure about this one but: I think the NetBeans platform relies on libraries with java.xml or org.w3c namespaces (like batik)? These cause trouble when loaded in a java modular application. -- Clément Levallois Associate Professor emlyon business school Twitter and Skype: @seinecle mobile: +33(0)6 59 08 33 92 Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email. ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ Original Message ‐‐‐‐‐‐‐ On Tuesday 9 February 2021 10:11, Geertjan Wielenga <geertjan.wiele...@googlemail.com> wrote: > What does it mean "it is not entirely compatible with recent JDKs"? > > Of course, NetBeans uses the NetBeans module system.
