[jira] [Commented] (NETBEANS-1202) Add support for bundling and updating the bundled JRE for Platform applications (for Java 9+)

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-1202?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16879138#comment-16879138 ] 

Neil C Smith commented on NETBEANS-1202:
----------------------------------------

Tidying up by moving a few things off critical status as per Bug Priority Guidelines. There is a viable and fairly trivial to implement workaround for platform bundling (if not updates).  A UI and JLink aware options would be good to consider in longer term though?

> 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.
