----------------------------------------
Fixed in 12.0-beta5.
> Installation of nb-javac and JavaFX no longer optional in some cases
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: NETBEANS-4328
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-4328
> Project: NetBeans
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 12.0, 11.3
> Reporter: Neil C Smith
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: netcat
> Fix For: 12.0
>
> Time Spent: 3h 50m
> Remaining Estimate: 0h
>
> Changes between 11.2 and 11.3 mean that when opening existing Java projects
> (or when projects are being opened during settings imports on first run), it
> is no longer possible to cancel the dialog to install JavaFX and nb-javac
> without the projects being marked broken and Java support not being enabled.
> This is because JavaFX has now been marked required.
> When importing settings on first run, the dialog gets re-shown for every open
> project if cancel is pressed - this gives the appearance of an infinite loop
> forcing the user to install the optional plugins. This is particularly a
> problem because we don't want users to install nb-javac in 12.0 with JDK 14.
> *If the user is unwilling or _unable because of network issues_ to install
> JavaFX, the IDE is rendered unusable and they are left with the impression
> they need to force quit the IDE.*
> This also breaks the guidelines on optional Cat X dependencies at
