I am currently updating one of my Java projects from JDK 1.5.0_14 to JDK 8u202.
Here is my problem:
I can build the project with JDK 1.5.0_14 and JDK 8u202.
But as soon as I change one single line of code (no matter what) I get the following java.lang.AssertionError (see at the end of this post).
When I downgrade to JDK 1.5.0_14, build the project once and upgrade to JDK 8u202, I can build again without any error.
But again, after changing any line of code (only one character), I get the error below.
Does anybody have an idea how to resolve this issue?
FYI: I am using NetBeans 8.0.2.
ant -f D:\\NetBeansProjects\\MyProject -Dnb.internal.action.name=build jar

An exception has occurred in the compiler (1.8.0_202). Please file a bug against the Java compiler via the Java bug reporting page (http://bugreport.java.com) after checking the Bug Database (http://bugs.java.com) for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report. Thank you.
java.lang.AssertionError: the -J flag should be caught by the launcher.
