Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-1202:
----------------------------------------
Tidying up by moving a few things off critical status as per Bug Priority
Guidelines. There is a viable and fairly trivial to implement workaround for
platform bundling (if not updates). A UI and JLink aware options would be good
to consider in longer term though?
> Add support for bundling and updating the bundled JRE for Platform
> applications (for Java 9+)

> Key: NETBEANS-1202
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1202
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: platform - Other
> Reporter: Austin Stephens
> Priority: Major
>
> 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.
