Seems to me that if you're using Maven, which is more strongly the focus of NetBeans than before, that it's not clear what "Java EE 8 support" means. I.e., if you use a Java EE 8 Maven archetype[1], such as Adam Bien's archetype, and deploy to GlassFish 5.1 (which you can download and start from Apache NetBeans 11), then you in fact have Java EE 8 support and nothing more is needed.
http://www.adam-bien.com/roller/abien/entry/java_ee_8_essentials_archetype It's not clear to me what else is needed for Java EE 8 support, except if you're focused on Ant, which Apache NetBeans 11 is not. Maybe for the next release, i.e., 3 months from now, assuming quarterly releases, we should determine what Java EE 8 support means. For now, the fact that we are managing to integrate Java EE from the Oracle donation for the first time, is a big step forward in itself.
