jlahoda commented on issue #1037: Allow to open projects without nb-javac on supported JDKs.

   Before #715. NB was automatically and unconditionally downloading nb-javac when enabling Java SE via opening projects. That's not good.
   
   After #715, NB asks whether it should download nb-javac while opening project, but when the user says "Cancel", the IDE is thrown into a weird state, even on JDKs where we can somehow run without nb-javac.
   
   All this patch is trying to do is to enable Java SE when the user says "Cancel" on a JDK where we can run without nb-javac, leaving the IDE (and user's impression!) in a sightly better state.
   
   Not sure if there is a considerable amount of people that will go to Tools/Plugins and enable something there, does not seem to be a common path. The "install nb-javac" notification is used on every startup, but with a smaller severity, so that it only goes to the Notification window.
