Hi All, Since the contribution of the NetBeans IDE to Apache, Oracle had been the primary maintainer of the nb-javac patched code and distributed the nb-javac plugin and source to be used in the NetBeans IDE. We appreciate the NetBeans Apache community members who contributed to the nb-javac plugin over the years. The most recent plugin code was published in Oct 2021 [1]. While we ensured the plugin availability for every new JDK release, we also worked towards enabling NetBeans to directly use the JDK javac compiler. We are happy to announce that the migration effort to the JDK javac has been completed! NetBeans version 13 release can use the javac implementation in OpenJDK 17 for editing code on any language level supported by the OpenJDK 17 javac compiler. As this migration is completed, we will stop distributing the code and the nb-javac plugin going forward. Once again, we would like to thank the NetBeans Apache community for their collaboration.
