If you start from a ZIP distribution, you can launch using any Java version with your own Java installs e.g. the BAT setup I use when on Windows:
cd %NB_HOME%\bin start netbeans64.exe --jdkhome %JAVA_HOME% --userdir %NB_USER_DIR% --cachedir %NB_CACHE_DIR% --console suppress My various _HOME env vars are setup in different profiles, depending on what project I'm working on. Some of which demand J8, J11, even J17 -R From: A Z <powerus...@live.com.au> Sent: 17 November 2021 02:17 To: users@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Netbeans Stable Support for OpenJDK 17? Importance: High To Who it may Concern, I am aware of the fact that Netbeans 12.5 only offers experimental support for OpenJDK 17 at this time. I am going to need to use OpenJDK 17, because of its accurate floating point mathematics. How far away is full support of Netbeans 17? So that I can install Netbeans, and run Netbeans, requiring only OpenJDK 17, but by no means any secondary JDK? Merry Christmas, everyone!
