Geertjan Wielenga commented on NETBEANS-1202:
---------------------------------------------
There is no bundled JRE in Apache NetBeans. Apache only releases source code,
so what you're suggesting is that the convenience binary should include a JRE,
but Apache NetBeans IDE needs the JDK, not just the JRE to run. So you're
suggesting (I think) that the Apache NetBeans Platform should be distributed as
a convenience binary and bundled together with the JRE. These kinds of things
are better to discuss on the mailing list than in an issue, can you join the
'dev' mailing list and start a discussion thread there:

> Reporter: Austin Stephens
> Priority: Critical

> According to [Oracle ("End of Public
> Updates")|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html], they do
> not plan on migrating desktops from Java 8 to a later version via auto-update
> and "... encourage application developers to [use the packaging options
> introduced with Java SE
> 9|https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/the-future-of-javafx-and-other-java-client-roadmap-updates]
> to repackage and deliver their Java applications as stand-alone applications
> that include their own custom runtimes."
> It would be wonderful if the NetBeans Platform could handle updating the
> bundled JRE (as if it was a Netbeans Module) so it would be less of a
> head-ache to get Java Security updates out and such.
