Description
JDK 27 removed the (webstart) AppContext mechanism, NB appears to rely on it in some places
e.g see https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/9522 + https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/29855 (many others)
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reviewing the linked NetBeans pull request 9522 and the referenced OpenJDK change, then search the repository for AppContext usage. Done means the affected usages are removed or replaced so NetBeans no longer relies on the mechanism removed in JDK 27.
