Visa is paranoid about security. I cannot run anything downloaded from the web unless it went through tech governance approval and certification. There is a daemon on a system that enforces it. Certification group won’t accept software without installer. I pushed NB10 through Tech Governance approval and after that was able to bypass certs by installing IDE in my home directory on Windows machine. I wasn’t able to do it on Mac.

Problem that due to company’s security constraints I cannot run any downloaded application. I have to submit it for security assessment, but won’t accept it without installer. But the Netbeans zip is no different than a war fille. What are they afraid of?

No JDK will be included and no JRE, since these are GPL licensed. Personally though I don’t get why a developer, even a complete newbie, can’t unzip a zip file and create a shortcut. That said, yes, installer is in the works.
