Like I said, I have the full build logs of all 5 build runs, and a couple of screenshots, but they are quite big. Should I zip them and attach them to my next email?

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) On 7/27/19 12:38 PM, Geertjan Wielenga wrote: 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.

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, Emilio G.C.
