Normally we should upgrade libnb-javaparser-java to the JDK 11 compatible version. If I had known such a version existed, I would have packaged this one in January. > An other option may be to drop the nb-javac.patch and reopen #920707. > According to: > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Java+Editor+Using+JDK+javac > > https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+nb-javac > > Netbeans should work without nb-javac (but I really tried it).

If we drop the nb-javac.patch we will surely see new bug reports because the warning confuses people. Your links also mention some caveats when not using nb-javac, possible code completion errors and whatnot. So the user is forced to live with those caveats or download nb-javac manually. The latter solution might be preferable at the moment because of the freeze, but the point of packaging Netbeans for Debian was, that you can install Netbeans with system libraries. Now you have to download prebuilt binary files even for core features. There is also bug #920706 that makes Git unusable. One cannot even work around it by downloading the plugin from the internet. So yes, we can do that but I wonder if we should keep Netbeans out of Buster because it does not live up to the quality of the current version in Stretch.

Bug#925509: netbeans: Netbeans not usable with java in Buster
Hi Markus, * Jochen Sprickerhof [2019-05-02 23:05]: The other option is to fix the nb-javac-9-(api|impl).jar. Starting the upstream version of netbeans results in the same error for nb-javac and let's you download ~/.netbeans/10.0/modules/ext/nb-javac-(api|impl).jar. Placing those in /usr/share/netbeans/java5/modules/ext (and renaming them), results in a working Netbeans for me as well. There are some classes missing in the Debian jars, do you know how to get them compiled in? (I can have a look what exactly tomorrow). This is due to libnb-javaparser-java which is still on the jdk-9 version. The sources of it moved to: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/nb-java-x as mentioned here: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-802 https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Apache+NetBeans+10.0+New+and+Noteworthy Build instructions are here: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/nb-javac+releases I was able to get a working netbeans using: hg checkout 57251:8af81d06fdf5 in the nb-java-x repo. So one way would be to get this packaged (maybe rename nb-javac-9-*.jar to nb-javac-11-*.jar) and convince the release team to include include this into buster. An other option may be to drop the nb-javac.patch and reopen #920707. According to: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Java+Editor+Using+JDK+javac https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+nb-javac Netbeans should work without nb-javac (but I really tried it). This would trade the #925509 rc bug against a normal bug and we would be able to release with buster. What do you think? Cheers Jochen signature.asc Description: PGP signature

* Markus Koschany [2019-05-02 21:08]: I had a look into this was able to create new projects when I remove the nb-javac.patch. @Markus do we really need it? The nb-javac patch is necessary, otherwise the nb-javac module is not properly detected at runtime. You should see an error message when you start Netbeans for the first time then. Did you remove ~/.netbeans and ~/.cache/netbeans before you installed the version without the patch? I believe you are on the right track though. Yes I see the error as well. But from #920707 I didn't get what function will be missing with the error. The other option is to fix the nb-javac-9-(api|impl).jar. Starting the upstream version of netbeans results in the same error for nb-javac and let's you download ~/.netbeans/10.0/modules/ext/nb-javac-(api|impl).jar.
