Hey everyone,

I’ve used Netbeans for PHP development since 2002. As you might assume, the JDK 
release cycle is mostly irrelevant to me as a user, as it is not a dependency 
for any of my work.

That said, I do think it is rather convenient to download and install the 
entire package as it is intended to be used. It sends a clear message that 
mixing/matching/discovering other dependencies is not necessary for me to 
update.

Thanks,
-JJJ
