That's naive.

I suppose we could have a philosophical discussion on where spin/misdirection/omission/forgetting becomes a lie.

Sadly the project does not have the resources for general maintenance, let alone general improvement; the expertise/energy seems no longer available for older stuff. Some people put in a lot of work and their efforts seem to be for naught.

I'm not saying that there aren't people who do yeoman's work. But a realistic view of the project feels lacking, or maybe that's just the public forums.

Hi Ty Young,

There's no need to be rude. The reason people are asked to join the group is to get involved and help provide solutions which will improve the NetBeans IDE. To the benefit of *all* users. It is not a club, nore is it an agony column where you turn up with problems and expect immediately soothing solutions.

Also, you need to remember that this is *not* a commercial enterprise people work on the project because they believe in it and enjoy it.

There are no liars here, only friendly helpful people that are prepared to put up with idiots like me. Furthermore, nobody forced you to join. Did they?

Regards

Jeremy Cavanagh

I'm aware the sky is blue and water is wet, thanks. You had said that JDK 17 was being worked on. Clearly that was a lie. What's the point of forcing people to join a dev list just so you tell them this?


Netbeans has never technically supported in-dev builds but they've always generally worked. What's going on here?

Indeed, NetBeans does not support JDK 18 (also not JDK 17) at this stage.

Hi,


I use JDK 18 builds of Project Panama[1] that Netbeans does not work
properly with. All classes with JDK 18 have errors with the package
statement claiming that:


Cannot access java.lang

      Fatal Error: Unable to find package java.lang in classpath or
bootclasspath.


This happens even on the "dev" builds of Netbeans[2]. My JavaFX
application and all dependency projects compile and run fine. Code
completion and import suggestions are broken, Netbeans views some
imports as unused when they are being used, and symbols(classes) are
marked as "cannot be found" even though they have imports.
