Installing OpenJDK with "Remote Universal OpenJDK Service"
I like the new "Remote Universal OpenJDK Service” feature, but I noticed that I can’t install the builds I like to use - JDK+FX. Zulu or Liberica builds (maybe more?) are available from their respective web sites with Java FX modules bundled in - it really simplifies building with JavaFX. E.g. java, java, jlink and jpackage commands ‘just work’ without setting up a Java FX SDK and fiddling with paths to external .jmods
Is this a limitation of the APIs used to fetch JDKs? It would be cool if alternative “flavours” of the JDK were available through this mechanism.
Regards,
Scott

It’s indeed created by that feature. Better would be if it was created in
the NetBeans user directory instead.

I noticed the file 'discoclient.properties' in my home directory after
running the feature in NetBeans 12.4. It took a while to track down that
it was created by NetBeans. It contains:
#Sat May 29 10:32:55 PDT 2021
url=https\://api.foojay.io
Is there a way to avoid creating the file or at least avoid leaving it
behind?
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the feedback. Consider it experimental, there’s various parts
being worked on and 12.5 (end of August) will be the real release of this
feature.
Use it and keep the feedback coming.
