Right, I don't care about the "clearly IDE" clusters like `enterprise`.On the other hand I do care about VSCode integration and I do care about Jackpot. I want Jackpot to continue to run on JDK8 for many years to come. > Question is: since NetBeans is modular and we now have a powerful Github > action powered build system that compiles in thousands of different Java > versions (and more to come by next year)... > > ...Wouldn't it be possible to try to keep Lookup & Co (i.e. the platform > cluster and probably a few others) binary compatible with JDK8 (with a > specific Github action or something), and let the rest of clusters > evolve with the times? Yes, that sounds like a plan. However there is no need to draw the JDK8 vs. JDK11+ line along the clusters - we can use JDK11+ API in platform thanks to the modular NetBeans runtime system. I wrote a blog post about it: http://wiki.apidesign.org/wiki/AlternativeImplementation E.g. I am for focusing on modern JDKs, but the (platform/core) code has to be compiled to run on JDK8 and appropriate unit tests must pass on JDK8. -jt --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists
