There was a conversation some time ago (pre-nbjavac inclusion) about running aspects of javac on the target platform. I've not looked enough at Gradle support to know how feasible falling back to running aspects of Gradle support on the target platform is? But ideally that would always be adapting to the platform NetBeans is working with, not necessarily what it's running on. > It seems like many on the team have strong opinions on what a proper > developer should be doing; I don't think any of the comments should be read in that way.
