at this time it is not possible for the Apache Netbeans project. For an
apache project this needed to be resolved:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-336

To make this possible, I think Oracle legal (as the holder of the
copyright of openjdk) and Apache legal need to agree on what is an "ok"
combination of GPLv2-CPE (GPL with Classpath Exception) and the ALv2.

Most people agree, that a license/artifact under GPLv2-CPE used as a
part of a larger does not affect the license of the whole artifact. The
problem is, that Apache legal sees this more critical.

Greetings

Matthias
