Hi, Is there documentation somewhere that says JavaHelp is not available? I don’t see any mention of JavaHelp missing in 11.x on this link: https://netbeans.apache.org/wiki/DevFaqHelpGuidelines.asciidoc <https://netbeans.apache.org/wiki/DevFaqHelpGuidelines.asciidoc>
The reason I ask is that in 11.3 I can happily create a ‘Java Help Set’ for my module and the wizard creates all the necessary files and module..leading me to believe everything is ok. However, when I try to build the module I get the following exception when building using NetBeans 11.3 with OpenJDK 11. An annotation processor threw an uncaught exception. Consult the following stack trace for details. java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sun/java/help/search/Indexer at org.netbeans.modules.javahelp.HelpSetRegistrationProcessor.handleProcess(HelpSetRegistrationProcessor.java:142) at org.openide.filesystems.annotations.LayerGeneratingProcessor.process(LayerGeneratingProcessor.java:104) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.callProcessor(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:980) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.discoverAndRunProcs(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:896) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment$Round.run(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:1222) at com.sun.tools.javac.processing.JavacProcessingEnvironment.doProcessing(JavacProcessingEnvironment.java:1334) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler.processAnnotations(JavaCompiler.java:1258) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.JavaCompiler.compile(JavaCompiler.java:936) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main.compile(Main.java:311) at com.sun.tools.javac.main.Main.compile(Main.java:170) at com.sun.tools.javac.Main.compile(Main.java:57) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:62) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:566) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.compilers.Javac13.execute(Javac13.java:57) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac.compile(Javac.java:1404) at org.netbeans.nbbuild.CustomJavac.compile(CustomJavac.java:102) at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Javac.execute(Javac.java:1133) at org.netbeans.nbbuild.CustomJavac.execute(CustomJavac.java:83) at org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement.execute(UnknownElement.java:292) at jdk.internal.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor118.invoke(Unknown Source) at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:566) at org.apache.tools.ant.dispatch.DispatchUtils.execute(DispatchUtils.java:99) at org.apache.tools.ant.Task.perform(Task.java:350) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.execute(Target.java:449) at org.apache.tools.ant.Target.performTasks(Target.java:470) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeSortedTargets(Project.java:1388) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTarget(Project.java:1361) at org.apache.tools.ant.helper.DefaultExecutor.executeTargets(DefaultExecutor.java:41) at org.apache.tools.ant.Project.executeTargets(Project.java:1251) at org.apache.tools.ant.module.bridge.impl.BridgeImpl.run(BridgeImpl.java:261) at org.apache.tools.ant.module.run.TargetExecutor.run(TargetExecutor.java:574) at org.netbeans.core.execution.RunClassThread.run(RunClassThread.java:128) Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sun.java.help.search.Indexer at java.base/java.net.URLClassLoader.findClass(URLClassLoader.java:471) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:588) at java.base/java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(ClassLoader.java:521) ... 35 more Thanks, - Tim > On Mar 17, 2020, at 2:32 AM, Geertjan Wielenga <geert...@apache.org> wrote: > > > JavaHelp is GPL licensed and has not been donated by Oracle to Apache, so had > to be excluded from Apache NetBeans GitHub.
