"nb-javac" is a patched version of OpenJDK "javac", i.e., the Java compiler. This has long been part of NetBeans, providing a highly tuned Java compiler specifically for the Java editor i.e., parsing and lexing for features such as syntax coloring, code completion.

/**
* Types and hierarchies of packages comprising a {@index "Java language
* model"}, a model of the declarations and types of the Java
* programming language.
*
* The members of this package and its subpackages are for use in
* language modeling and language processing tasks and APIs including,
* but not limited to, the {@linkplain javax.annotation.processing
* annotation processing} framework.
*
* This language model follows a mirror-based design; see
*
*
* Gilad Bracha and David Ungar. Mirrors: Design Principles for
* Meta-level Facilities of Object-Oriented Programming Languages.
* In Proc. of the ACM Conf. on Object-Oriented Programming, Systems,
* Languages and Applications, October 2004.
*
*
* In particular, the model makes a distinction between declared
* language constructs, like the {@linkplain javax.lang.model.element
* element} representing {@code java.util.Set}, and the family of
* {@linkplain javax.lang.model.type types} that may be associated
* with an element, like the raw type {@code java.util.Set}, {@code
* java.util.Set}, and {@code java.util.Set}.
*
* Unless otherwise specified, methods in this package will throw
* a {@code NullPointerException} if given a {@code null} argument.
*
* @since 1.6
*
* @see
* JSR 269: Pluggable Annotation Processing API
