JDK deployment support for NetBeans releases

Hi all,

I suggest that for deployment platforms, we always specify the following:

1. NetBeans runs on JDK 8.
2. NetBeans runs on the latest LTS release, i.e., currently JDK 11.
3. NetBeans runs on the latest current non-LTS release, i.e., currently JDK
13.

In other words, for Apache NetBeans 11.2, if someone complains about
problems running on JDK 12 (or 9 or 10), we should say "JDK 12 (or 9 or 10)
is not the current non-LTS nor LTS release -- please use either JDK 8, 11,
or 13."

The deployment platforms sections of the download pages I have updated
accordingly:
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb110/nb110.html
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb111/nb111.html

Comments and hopefully mainly agreement is welcome.

Gj

Totally agree. If you're not on an LTS (or 8), you should be on the latest.

Hi,

Azul is starting something they call MTS....

So you will have support for JDK versions inbetween LTS releases...

Maybe something to consider..

Although consideration in the future should be given to supporting
immediate prior LTS for a period of time (6 months?) to give LTS trackers a
time window to upgrade.
