I am upgrading my IDE to newest versions of netbeans (11.0) and jdk (12.0). When i make a simple basic Web Application With Ant Project, i can't compile it because the output shows following error message:
error: option -Xbootclasspath/p: not allowed with target 12 BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)
Obviously Ant script uses this option and jdk 12 does not allow it? But how to fix this??
EDIT: this is the section (build-impl.xml) where the option -Xbootclasspath is used. This is a netbeans generated script. If i remove the option completely, compilation succeeds and application seems to work
