   I spent nearly 20 years of my life being **Mr. NetBeans**, so I pretty intentionally did *not* sign up to be one when things moved to Apache.
   
   But yeah, I supposed I could be talked into it.
   
   Re the patch, it would sure be nice for it to be integrated into the next release.  It makes a difference in the IDE actually picking up changes from depended-on projects (the telltale that it works is that, with the patch installed, when you edit a parent POM file and change, say, the version of a library, you'll see the *Background scanning of projects* progress bar pop up briefly.
   
   It wouldn't be too hard to detect use of a lambda with WeakListeners (or Lookup.Result, which would also have this problem) from inside Javac.  I don't know if we currently have an easy way to write hints that use javac's api directly rather than via Jackpot, but the test is simply "is this a lambda" == "is this one of [list of things that add to a weak set]".  Solving it for specific, common cases is probably more important than solving the general case of "added to anything that might get wrapped in a weak reference".
