It was decided to drop support for JDK 5 for NetBeans module development and runtime. This can be a tracking/reference issue for changes that need to be made throughout the platform, IDE, harness, and nbbuild.
Initial work in core-main #221ab2f082be.
A bunch of further changes in core-main; should be propagated once builders are no longer broken.
Y01: Removing libs.jsr223 module is incompatible change. Some people used to depend on it. Leave it around, deprecate, and remove its external library.
Windows launcher needs to be modified to look for JDK 6 specifically, if it does not already do so.
