Thanks Hassan, and Israel, for you help. The matter resolved itself when 
I restarted the Netbeans installation. Since I installed the JDK right 
after NB complained about not finding it, and  DIDN'T start the install 
from scratch, but merely backed up a couple of windows and came forward 
again, it still couldn't find the JDK, post install. With a fresh start, 
this time, it did.

I'm in business.

I agree at least in part with your comment about package installers. 
Something they're quicker though.
