Hello devs,
after a series of PRs and the release of NB 22, we are now able to use
'javac.release' instead of source/target for NetBeans development.
Jan's PR #7201 was the last missing piece in the puzzle which does now
also allow using the javac release option in modules which enable
nb-javac during build/testing, since it enabled loading javac from
classpath instead of the discontinued boot classpath.
This does also mean that 99% of all modules won't need manual setting of
'OpenIDE-Module-Java-Dependencies: Java > xx' in their manifest anymore,
since this is done automatically if it wasn't set. Most manifest entries
were already removed and converted into the 'javac.release' project
property.
Please note that without NetBeans 22 you will see error markers in the
editor - this shouldn't influence the build however.
best regards,
michael
