Failed to generate Gui Source with System JAXB. Will attempt using bundled JAXB on NetBeans 12 JDK 9

[Mark Bolduc]

If you are experiencing an issue please mention the full platform your issue applies to:
IDE: NetBeans/Eclipse/IDEA Netbeans 12
Desktop OS Windows 10 Pro
Simulator Latest

Device NetBeans 12 Builds

Installing Netbeans 12 with JDK 9 is causing the following build error on first attempt, then when it fails, the secont buils request succeeds.

I know that you have acknowledged this and have indicated using JDK 8, however I would ask when do tou suspect this will be addressed?

Regards.

Hi,

we only support JDK 11 or 8 at this time. Try using ZuluFX 11 and NetBeans 11.

We hope to fix this and remove the final dependencies on JDK 8 in the next few months.

[Mark Bolduc]

JDK 11 will work fine.

Thanks

Regards.
