Hi Ulrich, I don't know if it would work in this context, but it seems reasonable to hope that Gradle's Java Toolchains (https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/toolchains.html) might help in this scenario. I've not tried using multiple toolchains within a single multi-project build, but gi

Aside from Laszlo's suggestion to use Java 17, since you seem to be in a position to choose your Gradle version, I suggest trying Gradle 8.5, which has better support for *running* on Java 21. Gradle 8.4 can build a Java 21 project, but must itself run on Java <21. With Gradle 8.5 you can do bo

Yes, frequently noticed this issue as well, although can't remember back to know a starting version. It doesn't seem restricted to dash-containing Javadoc, (I've definitely encounted it in doc without). My experiences tend to have been with multiline comments and/or methods with generics/wildc

Hi all, Just a quick query about using the NB IDE file chooser... I think I've finally hit a breaking point with the IDE's built-in file chooser. Being used to the more functional & æsthetically-pleasing file dialog in macOS (which leads to *much* faster use in practice), I find the one in th

I've certainly encountered something similar before, which seemed to be related to trying to create a project with the same name as one NB previously knew about. While I don't know about NB internals, from memory I tracked it down to being related to NB's caching of "Open Recent Project" info.
