   Whether it is required or not:
   
   http://apache.org/foundation/marks/pmcs.html#naming:
   
   As you can see the ASF really want us to use "Apache NetBeans" rather than just "NetBeans". If it is strictly required in the locations I've changed in this PR is open for interpretation. But the intent from the ASF is certainly clear. In any case I think it is in our (the (new) NetBeans community) interest too, i.e. to set the product apart from pre-Apache era.
   
   I've looked at Tomcat and Cassandra and they are pretty consistent in using the full name, in particular Tomcat will never, ever, refer to itself as solely "Tomcat". This goes for docs, UI and log messages. 
   
   Btw:  With this change, because of the changed `currentVersion` variable, the name which is printed at the top of the messages log will also change:
   
   ```text
   System Info: 
     Product Version         = Apache NetBeans IDE Dev (Build 20171128-unknown-revn)
     ...
   ```
