Compilation tested with JDK 1.7 and worked well.
RDEPEND is already >=jdk-1.6, so everything should work perfect.

Reminding

What is status?

[Comment 4 David Heidelberg (okias) 2013-08-09 19:29:41 UTC]

Does anyone care?

[Comment 5 David Heidelberg (okias) 2013-08-27 08:57:13 UTC]

Maintainer seems to not respond, what could be done? Adding maintainer-wanted at least

He seems a bit more inactive these days, we don't need m-w@g.o CC-ed as the Java herd is also listed as maintainers; I was told not to touch this because this is maintained in his overlay, but if bugs are going to collect up to an unacceptable point we might investigate this and start fixing things regardless of that.

sorry for the inactivity, but i have real life that needs my attention. anyway, is this bug about running netbeans using java 7 (bug topic) or about compiling netbeans using java 7 (report)?

wrt compilation of netbeans using java 7, i have already this prepared in my overlay for version 7.4 which i hope will be released soon (beta already out). i could backport it to 7.3 aswell but that means to modify 21 packages and because of 7.4 comming out soon (and load of stabilization herd) i proly won't even ask for stabilization of the 7.3 update (again, 21 packages) so i do not see much point in this. but if i miss something, please let me know.

[Comment 8 David Heidelberg (okias) 2013-08-27 17:37:15 UTC]

First thank you for response.

it's able to compile and run on java 1.7.

Quote from https://netbeans.org/community/releases/73/install.html
"Required Software
The Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 6 Update 26 (or later) or JDK 7 Update 10 (or later) is required to install the NetBeans IDE.
The PHP and C/C++ NetBeans bundles only require the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 to be installed and run. However, if you are planning to use any of the Java features, you need JDK 7."

So, minimum is JDK 6, but JDK 7 is recomended, if I understand it correctly.

fixed in 7.4 which is now in the tree
