Chuck, It seems to be true. I downloaded the zip files for both JDK 11 and JDK 13, to see exactly what files were included without needing to run any installer again. Even though the name specifies 'hotspot' for the JVM, neither of those JDK distributions contain a jre directory. The JRE is packaged separately and requires a separate download (from the same page, they make it easy to get, they just don't follow the original Sun directory structure that the Netbeans installer expects.)
Reviewing all of the current releases from AdoptOpenJDK, JDK 8 was the last JDK that included a jre folder within the JDK distribution. JDK 9 and higher distribute them entirely separately. That's probably a cleaner way to do it, only one copy of the JRE instead of two, but it causes a problem for apps that depend on a particular directory structure. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chuck Davis" <cjgun...@gmail.com> Cc: "users" <users@netbeans.apache.org> Sent: Sunday, September 22, 2019 11:03:08 PM Subject: Re: Netbeans 11 won't launch in Windows 10 Carl: Can this possibly be true? I just visited the site and you must choose which JVM you wish to install. AdoptOpenJDK would not be used by anyone if there is no JRE in it. Sounds to me like your install is screwed-up. Can you upgrade to version JDK 13, reinstall NB 11.1 and see what happens? I don't work with Windows but I cannot conceive that AdoptOpenJDK would not have a JRE to make it usable. There were some issues getting the installer to run: since AdoptOpenJDK > does not bundle a JRE under the JDK, the JRE had to be moved and renamed > from it's separate installation so that the installer would find both the > JRE and the JDK.
