Does Apache NetBeans 9.0 support java 11?

Question

Can anyone say if Apache NetBeans 9.0 support java 11 and if so what are the requirements to make that work?

Prensently I can compile and run java 11 code in NetBean

Answer 1

No NetBeans 9 doesn’t support Java 11 (only 9 and 10) [1].

NetBeans 10 which was planned to be released in November [2] will support Java 11 [3]. Unfortunately, it’s not available yet (at least as official release).

The latest release candidate can be downloaded here

https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/dev/incubator/netbeans/incubating-netbeans/

As NetBeans 10 latest vote candidate 5 is in the final release vote stage [4] we should expect a final release within the next days.

Answer 2

NetBeans 10 has been released with JDK 11 support:
