I think that was meant that you doing it separately is splitting the effort!

I wonder if the old extra cluster mechanism, as JavaFX is (was?) doing, is easier in this respect? Some of this was discussed in https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/1560 if you haven't read that? > I recently asked if Apache is fine with me producing a NetBeans > installer that is only the NetBeans release + a bundled JDK.

Really?! IMO that's something we've said multiple times we would allow, including in a recent thread (when Debian, etc. came up). Presumably the installer itself would need to be called something like "XXX installer for Apache NetBeans and JDK", but as long as what it installs is our binary release or built from our source release, what's the problem?
