Description Jiri Rechtacek 2014-02-06 13:52:20 UTC 
In JDK 8 / NetBeans IDE co-bundle installer on Windows is not possible change install directory for JDK. Caused by JDK installer bug, see ID 8029716 - INSTALLDIR is ignored when installing JDK.
Comment 1 Jiri Rechtacek 2014-02-06 13:55:30 UTC 
A workaround in the bundle installer - http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/de7172f3ee64

Integrated into 'main-silver', will be available in build *201402140001* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
