Hi, Tanas. > It has stopped working under JDK 9, and I got the job of figuring out what to > do. Yes, you'll need to use the 9.0 version of the NetBeans Platform or above to work with Java 9 or above.
a) is the RCP still supported as part of Netbeans 9.0 Yes! I'm maintaining a NetBeans Platform (=RCP) application myself. b) given that I expect the work might take possibly a month - is it better to look into moving to 10.0? Yes, I'd move to 10.0. There's not a substantial difference from 9.0 to 10.0 from an RCP point of view, just lots of bugfixes. I'd start by moving to 8.2 (the last pre-Apache version) and fixing any issues you get up to that point. Then you can switch to 10. If you hit too many problems at once, just go up one version at the time. c) is the support for the RCP planned to continue in future? As long as NetBeans exists as an IDE, the RCP will continue to work. The NetBeans IDE is just another NetBeans Platform application. Which build system are you using--ant or maven? -- Eirik -----Original Message----- From: tanas gjorgoski <tgjorgo...@gmail.com> Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2018 12:14 PM To: us...@netbeans.incubator.apache.org Subject: [rcp][platform] Moving UI application based on Netbeans RCP 6.9.1 to 9.0 ? Hi, The company I work for has an UI app built using the Netbeans Rich Client Platform (RCP) 6.9.1 version. It has stopped working under JDK 9, and I got the job of figuring out what to do. I think it would be best if we can move to Netbeans 9.0, instead of patching the 6.9.1 code. But before I look into it , I thought to ask: a) is the RCP still supported as part of Netbeans 9.0 b) given that I expect the work might take possibly a month - is it better to look into moving to 10.0? c) is the support for the RCP planned to continue in future?
