Laszlo Kishalmi commented on NETBEANS-1202:
-------------------------------------------
Well, this raises at least the question of licensing. We can't even bundle the
JDK to NetBeans at the moment.
You can probably try to create a plugin for the JRE. AFAIK there are some
capabilities to modify the launcher script via branding, but it might be not
applicable here.
So try to came up with a plugin, and if there is a special support required to
make that plugin work file an improvement request for that.
I guess this issue does not affect the majority of the Linux community who has
OpenJDK packaged in their disrto's repositories and usually receive security
updates regularly.

> Components: platform - Other
> Reporter: Austin Stephens
> Priority: Critical
>
> According to [Oracle ("End of Public
> Updates")|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html], they do
> not plan on migrating desktops from Java 8 to a later version via auto-update
> and "... encourage application developers to [use the packaging options
> introduced with Java SE
> 9|https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/the-future-of-javafx-and-other-java-client-roadmap-updates]
> to repackage and deliver their Java applications as stand-alone applications
> that include their own custom runtimes."
> It would be wonderful if the NetBeans Platform could handle updating the
> bundled JRE (as if it was a Netbeans Module) so it would be less of a
> head-ache to get Java Security updates out and such.
