With the release of jdkPortable, support for the same has not yet been added to PAL. It is, however, on my todo list.
NB - Marked as a bug for tracking purposes.

[Bug] PAL does not support jdkPortable

2 methods
There are essentially two methods for adding this to PAL.
- Support is added for jdkPortable alongside jPortable in Java.nsh, when searching for the JRE. This requires adding no extra Activate keys in launcher.ini.
- Support is added for jdkPortable alongside jPortable in Java.nsh, but is searched for in line with a new launcher.ini Activate key.
I'm personally leaning towards the second option, as it's possible users have both jPortable and jdkPortable installed, and unless jdkPortable was given priority over jPortable, there's the possibility jdkPortable would not be found by the launchers if jPortable exists.

1 and 2
I'm in favor of both. For the 1st instance, where an app needs a JRE, look for jPortable first and the JRE within jdkPortable second.
In the second instance, an app needs JDK not JRE, we should figure out how that works now with Netbeans and the like and add a key and logic just for that.

Agreed
Ok, so we're in agreement then.
Matt made a merge request a while back, and I'm incorporating much of his work.

Support added
I've added support for jdkPortable to PAL.
Please test in a forked copy of the repository.
If others can confirm this works as intended, I'll push the changes to the official repository.
John, I'll contact you offline with a copy.
