Compile on save not working

[giusdiluca]

Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 17

What happened

Hello,

while coding with Netbeans 17 it would be useful the IDE to compile on save the java class modified.
Even if I have the check "Compile on save" on the project turned on, the class file is not compiled/update in the target folder after an edit/save of the interested java source file.

Could you please advise on that?

Many thanks
Giuseppe.

How to reproduce

Create a maven java project, a java source file into it.
Turn on the "Compile on save" option on the project.
Edit the java file and look that the class file is not updated into the target directory of the project unless you do a full build of the project.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

No / Don't know

Operating System

I cannot reproduce this with 17 or 18-rc1 with a simple one file Maven project. However we do have at least one duplicate report. Could you also try 18-rc1 see #5849 . Let's ensure we still have the problem!
