Well, I'm not mistaken in that the 1.8 JDK had some effect on NetBeans FRC delpoyment and also the cRio imaging utility. With 4 PCs that have the cRio imaging utility on them, all 4 worked at the start. Install JDK 1.8 on two of them and cRio imaging utility stopped working (along with NetBeans on one of them). cRio imaging utility continued to work on the 1.7 PCs. Disable 1.8 and re enable 1.7 on the two failing PCs and they go back to working normally.

I'd agree you would not expect the JDK version to have this effect but the evidence suggests some aspect of the JDK 1.8 is affecting these two tools...and believe me we worked hard to find another explanation.
