Austin Stephens updated NETBEANS-4892:
--------------------------------------
    Description: 
Apparently the method of formatting Java versions has changed at Java 15? I am 
using the AdoptOpenJdk version and it has gone from jdk-14.0.2+12 to jdk-15+32. 
As you could imagine, those two parse differently and `compareVersions` comes 
to the conclusion that "15+32" is less than 15.0.0 (The expected version it 
generates for java 15). This results in any bundle java (or possibly any java 
in general, I haven't tested that yet) from passing the verification test and 
the installer will never find a java to use.

The best work around I can currently think of (other than building your own 
copy of Java 15) is to use Java <=14, which may significantly complicate the 
building process...

For reference, an easy way to possibly test if your solution fixed the problem 
is to source nbi/engine/native/launcher/unix/src/launcher.sh and run 
`compareVersions 15+36 15.0.0`

This bug may also happen on windows, but I haven't checked since the installer 
is a bit more complicated on windows...
