Can anyone shed a light on what the dropdown is for?

This sounds like an easy 'first-issue' for new contributors. I wanted
to quickly create one issue on GitHub but then I saw we have JIRA and
I don't know my login there...
Just commenting that block would be fine I think. The only problem is
make sure the layout doesn't get messed up due to that.

Well, if that dropdown doesn't do anything I absolutely vote to remove it (or implement the feature it promises to do ;) )

Yup. Or extended to provide what it should be providing, the possibility of
setting runtime platforms.

Makes perfect sense to me. eg. I have the IDE sources set up to do
exactly this. I haven't used Ant support for anything non-IDE / RCP
related for a long time. Do the standard Ant build scripts even have
a property similar to tryme.jdkhome?
Best wishes,
Neil

e.g. because I still need to support Java 8, but also want to test Java 11. Sometimes Swing behaves differently between the two, and it would be convenient if I could run the application using Java 11 from within NetBeans without the need to switch the whole project to a different Java Platform before doing so.
Additionally, e.g. the Microsoft JDBC drivers are very picky about the JDK. A driver intended for Java 8 will refuse to load when running on Java 11 (and obviously vice versa). So again I have to change the whole project to a different platform, or swap out the driver depending on how I start my application.

Can you describe your scenario more explicitly so that it can be
understood?
I.e., why do you want to compile & build with JDK 8 and run with JDK 11?
