[…] Java SE is a perquisite for other packages like NetBeans […]
No, it isn’t. Java is a prerequisite for NetBeans et al: it is a necessary condition that Java be present in order to use software that depends on it. A perquisite is colloquially known as a perk: a fringe benefit, or a privilege, or an exclusive right.
The other sort of java (that is, coffee) is commonly made by perking, but in that case it’s short for percolate.

Actually, I believe that the most common method of brewing coffee is now via “dripping” rather than percolating.
And percolating coffee is immoral.
Almost as immoral as decaf.
Don’t get me started on instant.
