Re: Cannot use JDK 8 specific classes when compiling

[Juan Algaba]

Is your project using Ant, Maven or Gradle?

Re: Failing at updating Netbeans to 12.4 on a Mac

[Will Hartung]

The new version will import a lot of the settings from the old version, so
it's sort of a self updating thing.

But this does not work on Linux with 12.3 either:

Yes the new version should be installed.

Failing at updating Netbeans to 12.4 on a Mac

[Chris Olsen]

Hello, Everyone --

  I currently am running Netbeans 11.3 on a relatively old Mac.  I tried to 
update ( = "Check for updates) but it failed.

  a)  Should it, in a just world, have worked?

  b)  Should I just not care, uninstall 11.3 and install 12.4?

  I am NOT a Mac person and  messing this up would engender LOTS of 
head-scratching on my part...

  Thanks in advance!

Re: [ANNOUNCE] Apache NetBeans 12.4 released

[Pieter van den Hombergh]

Hello Netbeans team, Geertjan,

I want to compliment and thank you for the new release. As a test
aficionado, I am very pleased with the new feature of the tiny test button
in the left-hand gutter to run individual test methods.
Thank you indeed.

Hi to All,
I went from Gradle 6.5 to 6.8 to 6.9  with no problems with a very 
small project.


With Gradle 7 (all 7s) Netbeans 12.2 and 12.4, openjdk 15.0.2, the 
same project gives me this problem:




With Gradle 7, the syntax to add a local .jar file is the same ?

The project foresees a local .jar. With Gradle 6.x it was possible to 
set in the classpath in the following way:

Gradle params:
apply plugin: 'java'
apply plugin: 'jacoco'
apply plugin: 'application'

repositories {
    mavenCentral ()
}

dependencies {
 testImplementation 'junit: junit: 4.13'*
compile files('../tco_lib/dist/tco_lib.jar')*
}
End Gradle params.

Thanks in advance if anyone can give me a tip,
Valerio
