Motivation

Non-Java profiles of Netbeans should not require pre-installed Java Runtime.

Description

We will include JRE into installer and use it for installation process. Later on this JRE will be installed privately and used to run Netbeans itself.

Effort estimation

1 engineer/1 month

Dependencies

This scenario must be supported by IDE. Netbeans Update Center should differentiate modules that require JRE vs JDK.

Impacts

Publishing. Need to understand how this feature may be used in distribution process.

Architecture

API

Documentation

Testing

Extra testing on the systems w/o JDK is required.

Performance

Enabling this feature will increase download size of non-Java profiles for the size of bootstrap JRE.

Risks

TBD
