Got it, found it in Show Details. A tree structure might be a better UI but I now have a technique I can explain to my students.

Only if you can reproduce a problem. nbjavac was and will never be optional for running NetBeans Java Editing on JDK 8. It is required in that case. > I then looked into the plugins dialog where something I never noticed > before called User Installed Plugins is really nb-javac. No it is not. nbjavac is _one of several_ plugins. Ensure you check "Show details" in the plugins dialog, then the individual plugins are listed. This behaviour (to group all "non core" plugins under "User installed plugins" is in NetBeans at least since 8 and most probably even longer. > Previously, to remove it I deleted the three nb-javac files directly > from the modules folder of userdir leaving behind the JavaFX plugin.

You removed _all_ user installed plugins and not only nbjavac was removed, but JavaFX also. > If I restarted NetBeans and went to the plugins dialog it complained > that the Linux and Mac JavaFX plugins could not be found.
