Failed dependency message

I initially installed netbeans with support only for php and c/c++. 
After running into some issues I was asked to provide profiler output. I did some investigating and I saw that I needed java to actually view the netbeans profiler output. 

I went to the netbeans website and just downloaded the netbeans full version.
Now when I do ctrl+alt+y to start the profiler and then do the same key shortcut to stop it, I get the attached dialog. I get no other message so I assume the profiler is not outputting any data.

This seems to be a bug, because I installed the full netbeans so it should have installed everything it needed.
If this is not a bug please someone tell me what is missing or how to fix this issue.

It looks to me that you are running NetBeans full version on JRE. For Java support you have to run NetBeans on JDK. Can you please try to use JDK instead of JRE? Thanks.

For someone that is not really into java can you maybe point me to a tutorial of how I do the switch, please?

OK.
1) download JDK for your platform here: <http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html>
2) install JDK
3) start NetBeans with above JDK using --jdkhome switch. Details are here: <http://wiki.netbeans.org/FaqJdkHome>

I have changed the netbeans_jdkhome in the netbeans.conf to point to JDK and not JRE.
This has resolved the issue.
Thanks!
