This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
When installing netbeans, I selected the 'everything' option (I primarily want a PHP ide but may also want to do the occasional bit of Java, so it seems the best option from the list). As I'm installing, the installer displays a warning about missing JDK, but there's no detailed explanation, so I click continue. Then it asks for the JDK location, giving a link to the Oracle download site. The Oracle download site prominently features a JDK + Netbeans bundle. Why is this bundle not prominently on the netbeans.org download page???? (On further examination, there's a JDK bundle linked in one of the many paragraphs of small print 99.9% of users will ever bother to read). Why can the installer (like ever other Java based IDE I've used) not simply bundle or download the JDK if required so I don't have to do anything? The user experience here is dumb and broken. Please fix it.
There are some reasons, why bundles are not on the netbeans.org download page... Also you can now download some distributions (HTML5, PHP and C++) together with JRE. Closing as wontfix
