Description

Steps to reproduce

1. With JDK 11 (probably really JDK 8+), run Apache NetBeans 12 beta-2

2. Attempt to create a new Java/Maven project

3. On the Finding Feature page, do not select the option "The nb-javac Java editing support library"

4. Click Download and Activate

Since I'm running JDK 11 I would expect that nb-javac isn't mandatory, and as its not checked it shouldn't be included in the list of plugins to install
