Yes, as always, pretty spot on!

:-)  Yes.  Very much seems like a solution looking for a problem to me.

I'm not sure that comment was much in favour of ecj support as against
pushing frgaal as a good option for anything but very niche cases.
It's rare a PR gets -1, let only multiple, so I don't think it's fair
to call those opinions short-sighted.  There are some good points
raised in the PR description, but no mention of frgaal there.  A
better discussion would be on those points than ecj support.

Personally I think promoting the latest java(c) features is better
done by ensuring the IDE supports the latest JDK as best we can; as
Eric suggested, enhancing the templates to take more account of
running / target platform (eg. choose platform as first step?); and
(from a somewhat biased position) promoting installers that run
NetBeans on a local, latest supported, JDK out of the box.

Best wishes,

Neil
