We can remove it now! https://github.com/apache/netbeans-website/pull/590 The tip that said "Apache NetBeans 12.6 can be run on JDK 8, with some features disabled, if built from source using JDK 8." was added by me. It was only ever intended for 12.6 because of https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-6285 Officially, we decided to support building on JDK 11 and running on JDK 11 and 17, as of NetBeans 13. Unofficially, build on JDK 8 still works with NetBeans 13 because certain Ant tasks (eg. sigtest things) and bits of testing infrastructure don't actually work on JDK 11 yet! We need to fix sigtest generation in delivery or we're not going to get any API signatures for 13 into master btw.
