Nope.
I think it should be an option on the download, and at a minimum come with strong built in support for it.
JavaDB/Derby is fine to play with. If that's all you want to use NetBeans for, then sure...but for more serious work having support for MySQL is a great thing.
BTW, with Oracle buying BEA, it would give Sun a strong competitor to what I bet we see with WebLogic, Oracle's IDE and Oracle DB.

No offense, but don't you think bringing a fully-fledged SQL server with
an IDE is a bit too much over-kill? Personally, I'd rather like to see a
small, embeddable DB suitable for desktop applications as well (JavaDB
is okay here, maybe hsql or something similar to sqlite would be even
better...).
Just my €0.02, of course...
