That's a developer request, right? We don't want to scare regular
NetBeans users with such confusing configuration, I assume. At least
the biggest UX motivation for including nb-javac by default is to
avoid all the download dialogs when one wants to use NetBeans to
develop Java. It should work out of the box.
getting rid of the dialog is a worthy effort i suppose, but is it still
possible to disable the nb-javac module in the plugin manage without
breaking NB after the change?
I'm curious what the difference between a developer request and a user
request really is for us?!
Developers download source releases or work directly with sources in Git.
Users download complementary binary releases.
i am not going to maintain my own differently configured fork of NB if
that is what you asking. The point why i open PRs is to hope to get
changes into netbeans, not to get changes into *my* netbeans.
Since my question has been avoided so far i will just assume for now
that we won't be able to disable nb-javac after the proposed PR is
integrated.
also, since automated (!) backporting of javac using jackpot seems
to be feasible now (I don't know how reliable that is)
It is reliable and passes all known tests.
i was thinking about the automated backporting itself. If the build
would need hand holding every two weeks to account for upstream JDK
changes or not. (i was only thinking loudly, this is probably not
answerable without actually attempting it)
https://github.com/oracle/nb-javac/pull/12
all what would be needed is to upload weekly
builds (pulling from OpenJDK HEAD)
All you need to do is to get the above repository and modify
https://github.com/JaroslavTulach/nb-javac/blob/jtulach/BackportingUpstreamJavac/make/langtools/netbeans/nb-javac/nbproject/project.properties#L3
to refer to different revision of OpenJDK. Then rebuild. Setting a weekly
upload service up should be easy. Feel free to do it.
thanks, i am going to give this a try next time i work with upstream
JDKs, esp if there is no option left to disable nb-javac in future.
