There is a known issue with the Windows launcher not finding Java (assuming it's installed in a discoverable way). Hopefully that can be fixed in future. However, you cannot exactly guarantee if that's set up correctly, or that it points to what you need. Relying on a system-wide Java install is really something for the past. Also, as said above, no-one is maintaining the package as installers or macos application. They are almost untouched since donation to ASF. NetBeans itself has moved away from using that installer infrastructure for anything other than Windows, and we are looking at replacing that (actually pending on some launcher fixes). If your overall goal is a trouble free experience working out-of-the-box, I would suggest looking at shipping the JDK (or stripped down runtime depending on what you need), and including that with NBPackage as outlined above. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
