Description

Whatever i do i can't enable preview features in NetBeans. I also see hint 'Text block may not be supported'. I uninstalled nb-javac and i am running NetBeans on JDK 14. I also cleared cache. I can see that --enable-preview flag is set in pom.xml and in VM Options.

In terminal, java --enable-preview --source 14 A.java executes as expected.

What i also noticed in previous versions of NetBeans is that VM Options configured under Run are not passed to Maven.

What am i missing?
