I have just installed Java 17 ea 26 and then configured NB 12.4 to use 17 as its version of Java. NetBeans started but was unable to successfully create either a maven or ant project. Code could be compiled and built but the class with main could not be found. It alsdo did not automatically load the Java SE plugin, I had to do that manually. The messages.log reports:
SEVERE [org.openide.util.Exceptions] java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: 'void com.sun.tools.javac.util.Log.<init>(com.sun.tools.javac.util.Context, java.io.PrintWriter, java.io.PrintWriter, java.io.PrintWriter)' as the most common exception. This seems to always occur for any issue such as errors parsing my HelloWorld. There is more I can report on. Compiling under 17 might give us a better result. For the moment NetBeans 12.4 is unusable on Java 17 ea 26 running on Windows 10.0.19042.1052. Switched back to JDK-16.0.1.0-hotspot and code could be run. What the Quality Outreach group wants to know is if we are testing our project under EA builds of JDK 17 and if it works.

I think what we should be aiming at os being able to run NetBeans on JDK 17.
