Re: removing the "new project" support for Ant projects
For those of you who have used Maven for a long time it may seem simple and straightforward, but for those of us who haven't it's not. I've struggled to try and understand it and figure out how to use it for my software project and gave up. And it's a huge amount of overhead, extra disk space usage, and more bits and pieces to keep track of that isn't justifiable for small simple projects. ANT works just fine for me, and I will keep using it for as long as I possibly can. I need to focus my time on getting my software out, not on the tools I have to use to do it.

Re: Java FX Project identity
Hi Will, Have you set up the location of Scenebuilder in Netbeans?

Re: What Project should I use if I have existing source?
Hi Tom, Kind of sounds like this isn't what you need, but if you worked with your source in an older version of Netbeans and want to move it to Netbeans 12.2, you can export the project from the old version of Netbeans and then import it into 12.2. The export and import options are under the File menu item. If you don't have the source in project in an older version of Netbeans, you can create a New Project and select 'Java with Ant', and in the right box select 'Java Application'. You don't have to select one of the sub options under 'Java with Ant'. Uncheck the box for Create Main Class on the second screen. To get your source into the project you can copy it into the project src directory, or you can remove that directory and in the Project Properties use the Add Folder option for Sources to add your folder of source code. You'll also have to add your Main Class to Run under Project Properties, and add any libraries you need to the Project Properties. There may be a few other things you'll have to do in Properties. I did this with a project I originally created in Netbeans 8. Lisa Ruby On 3/1/2021 3:28 PM, Thomas Wolf wrote: > Hi, > I guess I haven’t tried to create a project in a long time.

Thank you. I had somehow navigated to someplace I can't find now that had a link that was still pointing to the plugins on the netbeans.org site.

Re: Heads-up: netbeans.org EOL on March 6th
Hi, For anyone that might be interested, Here is a downloadable copy of "Developing Applications with NetBeans IDE" document/book for Netbeans 8.2: https://docs.oracle.com/netbeans/nb82/netbeans/docs.htm Is anyone doing anything about archiving plugins? Will they be findable/accessible once netbeans.org goes away? The apache Netbeans web page points back to netbeans.org for plugins.

Re: Netbeans code assist not picking up classes under JRE Full Profile
I am having the same problem with Netbeans 12.0 on Windows. I use ANT. I understand the overall concept of modules. When I use anything from java.sql in my code and try using Ctrl-Shift-I to have Netbeans add the import statements to the code file, it doesn't work. Same as what Bob reported. The Classes and Sources lists for my Platform for my project, which uses AdoptOpenJDK 11.0.9-hotspot, contain java.sql. What else exactly needs to be done to make sure I have java.sql module imported? Thank you.
