The discussion on this old bug seems to be most relevant: https://bz.apache.org/netbeans//show_bug.cgi?id=41098
Over 16 years ago this was apparently a JDK issue. (People were using JDK 1.4 at the time.) See Comment 21 <https://bz.apache.org/netbeans//show_bug.cgi?id=41098#c21> I suspect the workaround (which never really worked properly) isn’t required anymore.
