As you can see from the attached screenshot I am getting the same error for Java 8. what Java distribution is this you tried to add? if its the one from the link you posted it would be a JRE I believe. Oracle has a separate page for JDK downloads somewhere. You cant use JREs to build programs. But thanks to your suggestion, I managed to install 8 anyway by downloading it from within the platform manager itself. cool! If I build my application with a higher JDK their java will not allow them to run my application. almost. On later JDKs you can use -release 11 for example to build your project against a specific version which can be lower than the JDK version. JDK 8 doesn't have that yet, so you pretty much have to build on JDK 8 to be sure that you don't use API from a later version by accident - or have very good test coverage. As for the version issue, I am not sure if I am explaining myself well. Below is the link where one can install the latest version of Java which is 8. This is what the users of my application will do before running my application. JREs still exist from various vendors, e.g: https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?package=jre=21 https://www.azul.com/downloads/?version=java-21-lts=jre#zulu ... simply point your users to a different link I will venture an answer to my own question of why java 8 is the latest jre available. Is it maybe because jlink started from JDK9? If so, then they are assuming that everyone will be using jlink which might not be the case. Sun was interested in the desktop, Oracle not so much. I believe JRE 8 is the last offered JRE from Oracle. The way how programs are installed changed too. Today it usually works over app stores where everything is typically included in the download. Having a JRE requirement is a bit dated. Java 8 is a decade old by now. -mbien - To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@netbeans.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@netbeans.apache.org For further information about the NetBeans mailing lists, visit: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Mailing+lists

The Platform Manager itself can download JDKs. This community maintained website might also help to find a version from a vendor you prefer: https://javaalmanac.io/ If you install a JDK using tools like sdkman or a regular repository on linux, NB should automatically add it to the platform manager since it scans some well-known directories. best regards, -mbien On 01/03/2024 16:15, Michael Bien wrote: NetBeans 21 supports projects which use JDKs in the rage 8-21 with limited support for early access dev builds 22, 23 etc. javac itself dropped support for the 1.7 target in Java 20.

No new project from "Java Project from existing Sources"
Hi, I have old java sources, which I want to work on with NetBeans 21. Location of the existing sources is: ~/Projects/Palm/NetbeansProjects/DesktopFiles_src/ Location for the new project is: ~/Projects/Palm/NetbeansProjects/DesktopFiles/ So these are separate paths, but I get: !

Re: Using Mockito with Netbeans
Brother, you're working for the wrong company. Adding fake/senseless tests decreases the quality of the software. As a developer you are not allowed to do that. Testing the data layer against the database is the right thing to do here and you can do it in an integration test and also use JUnit for that. Then you can add the coverage produced by the integration tests to the coverage from the unit tests. As for the database, if you have a containerized application then it is easy to just use the database container you have anyway. Alternatively you could fire up an in-process in-memory database like H2 and run your integration tests against that.
