Yes, great. From a NetBeans point of view, it would be simplest if GlassFish would require JDK 8, nothing more, nothing less. And then the responsibility would be up to the user (and our instructions to the user) of Apache NetBeans to ensure that the correct JDK is selected.
I.e., though Apache NetBeans can run on JDK 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 (when Apache NetBeans 11 is released), GlassFish would then, if the above is true, require JDK 8 -- which would mean that a user of GlassFish and NetBeans would need two different JDKs, unless they decide to use JDK 8 both for NetBeans and GlassFish.
