Then why doesn't NetBeans take no for an answer. It now shows as a notification on the status bar. It should no longer be a default. When NB wants to install the FX components it also installs nb-javac, no option not to. Then we have to go into userdir and clean it out. With that done it now pesters us with a notification. Using Beta 3.
