How about downloading the JDK as a step in the installer? Then any distribution could be added to that list by the community with a PR request and no license issues will be needed to solve.

To: dev@netbeans.apache.org Subject: Re: Installers -- making them official for 11.1? I have been using Azul Zulu JDK for a while now with no issues. Very simple zip to extract. +1 for targeting Zulu as the free OpenJDK for use. However, I'm not sure if we could necessarily "Package" it with Apache NetBeans. If there is an OpenJDK that would be acceptable for packaging along with the Apache NetBeans installer, then that would be the simplest solution for a beginner.
