That's precisely why I am putting together this: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+NetBeans+Structure but do you mean that nb-javac is a (customized?) Java compiler that's > required to build some parts of NetBeans? Yes. Aside from nb-javac (two JARs in total) being needed to build the "java" cluster, and related non-core clusters, it is needed by end users as well, which is possible as stated by Ate they "will be required to provide the nb-javac module themselves during installation".
