Well, I think we shall move that direction, however we might work on
that in batches.
AFAIK Java 12 dropped the source compatibility prior Java 8, so we need
to raise the javac source level.
I tried that once with brute force search and replace, but that caused
some issues during the build. (However this was before we had the
patches for Java 11 builds)

Sure, why not investigate whatever the reason is that JDK 12 cannot be
used to build NetBeans? Any info you can provide would be helpful.

As part of an experiment related to the recent PR I submitted to
the netbeans website, I built netbeans in OpenJDK 8,9,10,11 & 12
(latest versions as of 2019-07-25), simultaneously, on Windows 10
(1809). The results are such that all but the JDK 12 run were
successful, which in turn makes me ask: are or were there any
plans to make it possible to build on JDK12, or was it not
prioritized due to this being a non-LTS version?
I have full logs of all 5 build operations, but due to their size
I can't post them here.
Thanks,
