I've seen a similar behavior with other tools and recent versions of Java 8. For example, when I define that maven 3.3.9 should be downloaded from apache, sometimes it shows the pick list, and other times it does not. Likewise, when I define that ant 1.9.6 should be downloaded from apache, sometimes it shows the pick list, other times it does not. The same happens to me with the JDK installers.
My temporary work around was to host the tool installers that I need on a locally hosted http server. I believe the same behavior does not happen with Java 7, though I am not 100% certain of that.
