Why 11.3 exactly? Personally, while I understand the desire to not make a giant leap, I think you're probably better jumping straight to NetBeans 17 with JDK 11 here. > Now my problem. > After updating the Java help is not working anymore.

Well, we haven't used JavaHelp in the IDE since moving to Apache (license issues) and I'm not sure how well tested adding JavaHelp to the platform is?! Certainly, some default help actions have changed in light of that. There's a curious question about whether we want to bring JavaHelp back? In theory, the license issue should now be resolvable.
