BUILD SUCCESSFUL

Launch NB 12.4

Open Project

On the root project (VisualVM) right click->Properties->Libraries->Java
Platform, set it appropriately (i.e. 1.8)
On the root project, right click->Package as->ZIP Distribution

1 error

Note at the top of the build output that it's also running the same
build-zip target.

Best to provide complete step by step instructions for someone to reproduce
the problem so they can help you.

Ant project not using project specific JDK

[Tim Mullé]

Hi,

I’ve sent an email previously about this and just wondering if there are any 
suggestions when running 12.4

I have an existing project (VisualVM) I downloaded from GitHub and am trying to 
build the project in 12.4.

It is an Ant project, and I am running my 12.4 IDE with JDK11.

VisualVM doesn’t build with JDK11 with the following error:

"visualvm/visualvm/uisupport/src/org/graalvm/visualvm/uisupport/ProfilerTabbedPane.java:52:
 error: package sun.swing does not exist
import sun.swing.SwingUtilities2;”

I know the instructions say to build via the command line, however, I want to 
build and run VisualVM within NetBeans 12.4 so I can debug 
the application and use the tools to learn how the application is built.

I tried setting the Project JDK to JDK1.8 but when I use the “Build” option on 
the project it still uses the JDK (11) that NetBeans is running on.

I found this ticket from years ago saying at first it was invalid but then it 
looked like there was a workaround..but nothing since.

It is confusing that we can pick the JDK for the project properties and it 
isn’t honored during the build or run phases.

Any ideas how I can specify the JDK for Ant projects without having to change 
the JDK that I run NetBeans itself on?

Thanks,
