When to install nb-javac
Folks,
I'm currently working with NetBeans 12 beta 1 running on Windows 10
Professional and OpenJDK 11.-0.6. First of all, hats off to everyone who
contributed to this. It's running fine for all of my projects
(maven-based web and command line projects).
I do have the notification showing 'Install nb-javac'. I've seen several
threads in both the developers' list and users' list saying to not
install nb-javac. I've also seen messages saying that if you run into
problems with nb-javac, disabling it is not enough. It must be uninstalled.
Is there a definitive list of the benefits that nb-javac brings, and
when you should not install nb-javac?
Considering this is also a beta, is the corresponding nb-javac even
available?
I'm running NetBeans 11.1 as well with nb-javac installed with no
issues. However, NetBeans 12 fixes several issues (JavaScript CDN,
Tomcat 7.0.103 launching) that are important in my environment.
Thanks for any insight.
.. . . just my two cents.

emj,
That's a nice page, and the sub-page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Java+Editor+Using+JDK+javac
is useful as well.
. . . just my two cents.

Is there some table highlighting the features that are broken with /
without nb-javac?
The nice page at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/NETBEANS/Overview%3A+nb-javac
does highlight that there is a good reason nb-javac exists. Even when
running on JDK 9+ are we really on-par with all the nb-javac features?
My impression is that some things are just not the same (yet?).

Indeed, a must have only if NetBeans is running on JDK 8. Ultimately we
want to need nb-javac increasingly less for later JDKs and if you can do
without it, that would be great. Doesn’t exist yet, indeed, for 12.0 anyway.
