-----------------------------------------

             Summary: Add support for bundling and updating the bundled JRE for 
Platform applications (for Java 9+)
                 Key: NETBEANS-1202
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1202
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: New Feature
          Components: platform - Other
            Reporter: Austin Stephens


According to [Oracle ("End of Public 
Updates")|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/eol-135779.html], they do not 
plan on migrating desktops from Java 8 to a later version via auto-update and 
"... encourage application developers to [use the packaging options introduced 
with Java SE 
9|https://blogs.oracle.com/java-platform-group/the-future-of-javafx-and-other-java-client-roadmap-updates]
 to repackage and deliver their Java applications as stand-alone applications 
that include their own custom runtimes."

It would be wonderful if the NetBeans Platform could handle updating the 
bundled JRE (as if it was a Netbeans Module) so it would be less of a head-ache 
to get Java Security updates out and such.
