Maven projects Compile on Save requires nbjavac

[Alessandro <al...@gmail.com>]

Hi all,
  while testing NB11.2 voting candidate running on OpenJDK 11 I noticed
that the "Compile on Save" checkbox in maven projects project properties
dialog was greyed out but I didn't digged it further.
After a while I tested the installation of nbjavac plugin and shortly
afterwards noticed that the "Compile on Save" checkbox was enabled and
selected.

Is this a known requirement?

Out of curiosity which features does exactly nbjavac enable when on OpenJDK
11 ?

Found no direct documentation on the web site/wiki but as far as I recall
nbjavac is mandatory for JDK 8 and optional for JDK 9 and above.

Regards,
Alex

Yes.  It's a least mentioned in the popup that shows up about
installing nbjavac.  Not sure where else it's documented.

Best wishes,

Neil
