error: option -Xbootclasspath/p: not allowed with target 12 (Netbeans 11.0)

Question

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

Answer 1

To compile the project on JDK12, simply set empty value to endorsed.classpath= at project.properties file.

Answer 2

-Xbootclasspath and -Xbootclasspath/p: (prepend) were removed in JDK9. You can still use -Xbootclasspath/a: to append stuff to the bootstrap class path.
