   I tested the build on Ubuntu 17.10. I run `snapcraft` in the `nbbuild/packaging` directory. If I interpret the snapcraft.yml file correctly it expects `SNAP_ARCH` to be set and this is not the case:
   
   ```
   matthias@athena:~/src/incubator-netbeans/nbbuild/packaging$ snapcraft

   Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.
     We cannot execute /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-/bin/java
   Traceback (most recent call last):
     File "/usr/bin/snapcraft", line 11, in <module>
       load_entry_point('snapcraft==2.40+17.10', 'console_scripts', 'snapcraft')()
     File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 564, in load_entry_point
       return get_distribution(dist).load_entry_point(group, name)
     File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2662, in load_entry_point
       return ep.load()
     File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/pkg_resources/__init__.py", line 2316, in load
   ```
   
   The big question and relevant for the project: What is the result of the `snapcraft` invokation? If for example OpenJDK gets bundled, the result can't be distributed by the Apache Netbeans project (per my understanding), as the license (GPLv2-CP) is explicitly excluded from acceptable licenses for dependencies.
