NetBeans has installers, and those installers inevitably bake in some things. 
ATM they provide both Tomcat and Glassfish. I assume that could be changed to 
TomEE or what ever, but would like to know what limits to bundling of various 
binaries there are during build time to build artifacts. Too, is it possible to 
provide an installer which bundles as part of its runtime, to run on the host 
operation system, a JRE, or is this problematic? What about an installation 
which installs a JDK for the user (combo installers)? Is there any precedence 
for this with other Apache projects? I’m not sure this matters for incubation, 
but would like to know what we’ll be able to do going forward as a community 
member who likes students and new programmer users to be able to get up and 
running quickly without having to have as many pre-requisites; this is handy 
for trainers as well.

Thanks,

Wade
