Hi Eric,
there is no need to hurry, it wouldn't make it into NB 13 anyway since
it is in feature freeze.
Building NetBeans is not so difficult, all you need is ant and JDK 11 in
path and some time to let it build. Once its built, you can simply open
any module in the IDE and run/rebuild it from there.
regards,
michael

Hello Michael, thanks for your reply.
I might do it but it will take a long time to me to be able to rebuild
Netbeans from sources and acquire enough skills to upload with
external binaries like Apache Ant jar files.
To fix this bug in Ant, I just rebuilt it locally and replaced ant.jar
inside an already installed Netbeans. No need to rebuild Netbeans from
sources.
Even for other tickets I filed, I just fix the bug in a single source
file, I manage to build it with hacked dependencies, then I put it in
a Jar file under "patches/c-n-b" (or using netbeans.patches.c.n.b
property) as allowed by Netbeans to test it. Still no need to rebuild
Netbeans from sources.
If someone can do it on behalf of Apache Netbeans it would be great.
Otherwise I will work on it latter... It's on my to do list to be able
to build Netbeans from scratch.
Best regards.
Eric.

Hello dear fellow developers, I added a comment to
NETBEANS-5368 issue about Ant hanging when using parallel for
task from ant-contrib due to deadlock between Ant
IntrospectionHelper and Netbeans NBBuildLogger. I then
proposed a fix to the Ant project which has been accepted and
integrated into their 1.10.12 release published last October
(see Ant BZ#65424). So can you upgrade Ant in Netbeans to this
release, please? Maybe in 13 if it's not too late? Best
regards. Eric.
