Oracle plans to end public support of Java 1.8 in January. I would not hold back newer JDK's due to older. 11 comes out [next month](http://www.java-countdown.xyz/). IMHO its more important to support newer than older. Is Netbeans forward looking or more concerned with legacy compatibility? It is clear Oracle wants to move Java forward faster. I would hope Netbeans is not a IDE holding onto the past.
FYI I also have some 70+ Eclipse packages, maybe close to 100. No where near the amount for Netbeans. At the same time. I have no Java 11 fixes for Eclipse, like I have for Netbeans. Just some food for thought. Its all moot to me, as my packages are pretty different from upstream. But I do not believe I can run NB on JDK 11 presently. Definitely cannot builder under JDK 11. I am running RC1 on 10, it fails on 11. My from source version is still a work in progress. Have some odd issues there I need to resolve.
IMHO if people need to support older JDK's they can use older IDE's, like NB 8.x. Older stuff should not hold back newer. Not when newer is about to be the current release version. Also 11 is a long term support, to replace 8. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html
