Yes. it is possible to install both Netbeans 11 and Netbeans 8 in Windows. In fact, you can have multiple minor versions installed (11.1, 11.2, 11.3-beta, etc.) and alternate distributions (Openbeans). This is what my taskbar looks like at the moment: [image: image.png] The only requirement of

For what it's worth, I have both NetBeans 8.2 and 11.1 on my MacBook (macOS Catalina). I thought about removing 8.2 but haven't gotten around to it. I experience occasional glitches in 11.1, but nothing major enough to convince me to fully revert to 8.2. On this Windows 10 computer that I'm using

Hello Geertjan and others, Unfortunately also with NB 11.3 alpha, the same Null pointer exception occurs frequently at compile time, with non-installed nb-java plugin. But I observed the following: While the null pointer exception in its stack-trace lists this (which you quoted earlier) :

I haven't followed the whole thread here, but couldn't NetBeans auto-disable nb-javac if needed? If nb-javac is only supposed to work for Java 8 runtimes then perhaps NetBeans should just use it as a fallback? Although, my impression is that some features are not implemented and nb-javac is more

Definitely try 11.3. And possibly nb-javac is disabled, though still installed. Gj On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 3:39 PM Hans Grimmelshausen HG wrote: > Hello Geertjan and other readers, > > Your observation makes sense, but the strange thing is that I did > uninstall nb-javac via NB's menu

Terminal Support in NB: Windows subsystem Linux vs Cygwin

Dear list I use CygWin under Netbeans from 8.2 (Windows64 version) and it works really nice (as like Bash terminal under a Linux based NB). My question: Now Windows OS support WSL (Windows subsystem for linux), which is more powerful and more compatible than CygWin for native Linux application

Hello Geertjan and other readers, Your observation makes sense, but the strange thing is that I did uninstall nb-javac via NB's menu Tools->Plugins. So it's shown under "Available Plugins". Also I can successfully refactore-rename methods etc in my mid-sized project, which hasn't been working

Since this is in the stacktrace, nb-javac must still be present, i.e., has not been uninstalled: at org.netbeans.lib.nbjavac.services.NBAttr.visitClassDef(NBAttr.java:66) Gj On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 11:48 AM Neil C Smith wrote: > On Tue, 25 Feb 2020 at 10:35, Hans Grimmelshausen (HG) >

Hello again Netbeans users, With great interest I follow this thread (and others), and learned several things. As mentioned by me and others, the de-installation of the nb-javac plugin (which NB suggests to install at the beginning and then regularly) repairs the refactor-renaming so that it
