Yesterday I was helping a relative to install NetBeans. He was mostly interested in [Python support](http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/61688/python). However when we downloaded the ZIP and installed the support without errors, code in editor was still without syntax highlighting. I'd already seen such situation, so I soon realized why. [Python support](http://plugins.netbeans.org/plugin/61688/python) cannot be installed on JDK14 due to missing `pack200`. However the problem isn't easy to find and we shall not let poor NetBeans users to face such silent errors. Here is my PR that detects presence of `.pack.gz` files in an NBM and fails its validation. The second part of the PR shall add a UI to allow one to select `pack200` from another JDK. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
