I've been using Netbeans for years (2 decades or so) for both Java and C++, but under the current Netbeans to use C++ I can't take advantage of any JDK after jdk 8.0. Are there any plans to change this?

As a (disgruntled) side note, I  have been using Visual Studio for C++ since March, and have so far reported 25+ errors in the generated code or in parsing. So I would really, really like to get back to Netbeans. gcc seems to be so much more reliable.

thanks

Thanks. This looks like it should work but I’m on a Mac and haven’t been able to get Netbeans run with jdk1.8. I tried it from a shell using the open command and —args and with setting jdkhome as an environment variable but it still fails the validation step. I’m okay with NB11 for what I’m doing despite the lack of support.

To install previus version C/C++ plugin into new netbeans 12.4 or 12.5 you need to start netbeans with jdk 1.8, if you run it with higher jdks the validation, during installation, doesn't work.

A)
eg.: /work1/bin/netbeans/netbeans-12.5/bin/netbeans --jdkhome /work1/bin/Java/jdk1.8.0_144

B) tools->plugin
Enable netbeans 8.2 plugin portal
<gG6FBQgvmFE1cuEn.png>

C) go to available Plugins tab
Press chek for newest and will appear C/C++, select it and then install....

D)
After installation will appear "installation completed successfully"

E)
If you go to Installed plugins you can see "User installed Plugins" with C/C++"

After this installation you can use C / C ++ projects like on Netbeans 8.

I hope I understand your question.
I hope it was useful to you.

Probably the plugins for C/C++ you had installed previously you'll need to install again in 12.4.

    I just took the plunge and upgraded from NB 11 to 12. When I try
    to open C/C++ projects that worked fine in NB 11 nothing
    happens. There’s no error, NB just doesn’t do anything. Has the
    project format changed? Do I need to re-create the projects from
    scratch? It’s obviously not the end of the world but I’ve got a
    bunch of projects and would rather not build them all again.

    Thanks,

    Tom.
