Scott, glad to hear I'm not the only one with major headaches. Java 8 and Java 11 are such vastly different creatures I don't see how anyone would expect NB to address both equally well. It militates for a break in compatibility with the IDE in my opinion. Those who want to stay on Java 8 can continue using NB 11. Those of us who move forward should not be held back by an antiquated IDE that tries to live in two entirely different worlds.
