Dear name, That's a pretty ambitious plan. You are free to do that, though if you would like to contribute that work back, you need to have the support of the Apache NetBeans Project Management Committee.
NetBeans is officially built on JDK11. As the platform is used several places we keep that part on Java 8 compatibility. It is also possible to Build NetBeans on Java 17, 18 and after a Gradle upgrade on Java 19 as well. Migrating NetBeans build system to Gradle is a hard and non-trivial task, yet a noble effort. A few years back I was able to compile all the Platform with Gradle, however, the tests failed at the introduction of the first OSGI module. Good luck with your efforts, and report back your progress! On Fri, Jan 6, 2023 at 8:32 AM name name2 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello > > I want to migrate NB to gradle and jdk 17.
