Hi,
I'm not very fluent on what is needed in NetBeans to get ecj to work if we
would like to. So difficult to say yes or no.
Will not be me integrating 😝 but cannot presume for others.
Best Regards
Eric
On the side of frgaal (an off topic)
Personnal side:
testing new jdk feature without messing up jdk settings Nice to have
but no need to retro to jdk 8; retro to current jdk is enough.
Cannot jump to far in jdk version (NetBeans has to be patched for that)
On teaching side could be cool, as most of our jdk are locked for a year so in
the second semester a new JDK comes and you cannot play with new apis :D.
Will also be drawback, frgraal setup project perfectly usable in NetBeans then
opened in another IDE, and some will complains that NetBeans generate code that
is outlined red (no matters if it compile).
And maybe more relevant sample than a helloword could also be nice :p

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
