What's going on with refactoring?
Hi,
Ever since Netbeans 9(technically pre-alpha, where Netbeans was still
under Oracle), refractoring on a modular Ant project package or class
has resulted in exceptions which forces manual refractoring(changing
imports, mostly). This situation hasn't improved since Netbeans 9 and in
Netbeans 11.2 it has somehow gotten worse. Now attempting to rename any
method results in a "Java Refactoring threw java.lang.AssertionError"
error with zero indication as to why it fails.
What's going on here? Why is refactoring so borked?

That implies you need to get your code into a versioning system, e.g., on
GitHub.

No, it hasn’t been only right now for the current release.
Can you report your refactoring issues or point to the specific issues
you’re encountering?
Yes, there have been several performance enhancements, can you spend some
time on the 11.2 features page on netbeans.apache.org?
And, yes, versioning systems are indeed handy when working with tools such
as IDEs.

Not having the ability to refactor at all outweighs any supposed
performance benefit. This really shouldn't be recommended to be
installed, ever. No one is going to know that refactoring is borked
because nb-javac is bugged to high hell(and has been for 5 releases now!).
Maybe it's just my imagination(or some other system update) but Netbeans
11.2 runs faster in general anyway, even without nb-javac.
Also regarding the other email: Versioning software isn't meant to be
used to work around or fix IDE screwups.

We're working hard on implementing the special sauce that nb-javac adds
into NetBeans itself so that ultimately nb-javac won't be needed at all
anymore, e.g.:
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1319
In the meantime, if you can avoid using nb-javac, even though when it works
correctly (something else we're trying to fix), it does better than not
having it, that would be best.

Anyway, I can rename methods now but i'm a bit too scared to rename any
packages or move classes around. Does that work for you after removing it?

Disabling is not enough as I found out, you need to completely remove it.

What happens when you uninstall nb-javac?
