Description

warning: No service provider for doclint is available
1 warning

In JDK 16, doclint support has been moved to module java.javadoc. This means NetBeans 12.3 installed with JDK 16 produces the above warning message. As a teacher, I find doclint invaluable for producing correct Javadoc for my students
