Yay! I found a real bug! Color me technical!

Trivia points to whoever can correctly identify the first use of the phrase 
"color me..." in public discourse. Hint: it's obscuah.

I've definitely seen the reported error before, and it doesn't affect NetBeans 
starting. Not sure if it's reproducible without the installer - haven't used 
the installer since 8.2 times. When I get a chance I'll see if I can reproduce 
again.

That setting is set in etc/netbeans.conf in the installation dir but,
again, if that is wrong then NetBeans itself won’t start up at all.

RE: FW: screenshot

[Walter Oney]

Thanks for the attaboy. This was on Ubuntu, though, not Windows.

I used to find it helpful to know how someone else approached a problem. In 
this case, I reasoned that there had to be a configuration variable, or 
something like it, but GREP didn't turn up any text files. So then I guessed 
that re-installing might reset that variable. When I saw "/usr" as the default 
JDK path during the install, I realized I had found the solution because that 
was the path for the broken platform.

I have always been impressed with how extensive the tests (and associated 
instructions) are so I would not be surprised if the answer is yes.

Given the age and pervasiveness of NetBeans, I would be surprised if the 
elementary thing I've attempted was *not* covered by a standard test. What I 
have observed, though, is that a brand new user attempts things that QA 
wouldn't think of doing. It's likely that I've installed the wrong version of 
something, or omitted to put something in the PATH, or omitted to set the 
permissions on some directory, or something outlandish like that.

Based on what I've reported so far, I think the problem has to be with NetBeans

All of a sudden, perhaps since I started trying to use Maven, NetBeans is now listing the

Re: FW: screenshot

I am glad it was solved and I would like to try to replicate that issue
because I have installed NB on Linux, Windows, and macOS many times over
the years but I don't recall seeing this.  Of course if could be that out
of habit I navigate to what I want to use as the default JDK.  I tend to
keep multiple versions on my machines for various reasons.

I have seen an issue where NetBeans does not have the main class selected
but not what is being described here.

While it's on my mind, since I generally focus on debugging during NetCAT
time, I don't know/recall if this "issue/behavior" covered in the tests for
the IDE.

I have always been impressed with how extensive the tests (and associated
instructions) are so I would not be surprised if the answer is yes.

Thanks Neil.  I was starting to wonder if all of the Applet stuff we have
lived through was a dream.

Did not say nightmare because it wasn't necessarily bad, just a part of
history. :)

Re: FW: screenshot

[Geertjan Wielenga]

Also, the screenshot shows that there are errors in NetBeans somehow.
Suggest you close NetBeans and start with a fresh user directory (go to
etc/netbeans.conf in your installation directory and change the cachedir
and userdir settings to non-existent folders and they'll be recreated).

Still no main class choices in the pop-up. I don't see why there would be if 
the .java file isn't actually a part of the build script.

If the build system depends on renaming things from their defaults, then it is 
truly broken and not worth my effort to learn. I think we're done.

And following instructions means naming things the same as in the
instructions. Just follow the instructions in the YouTube clip as exactly
as you can, including the names of everything, and if you still can't run
it, just do a clean on your Maven project and put it on GitHub and tell us
where to find it so that we can take a look at it.

Another difference: I don't get the same auto-complete behavior you did when 
you typed "main". Did you perhaps hit a shortcut key at that point?

When I follow those directions as accurately as I can, I end up with what you 
see in the attached screen shot. The .java file is apparently not part of the 
project, however, because I don't have the option to compile it when I 
right-click on it within the project pane. You can also see that the build says 
there are no source files to compile. Attempting to run this app gives me the 
same pop-up error that I get with Ant, with a list of alternative main classes 
containing just "".

I must be missing something major. The screen 
shot plainly shows that I'm using Apache NetBeans 11.1 with Ant. Normally, I 
would think that I've done something wrong, because I learned sometime around 
1965 that computers and well-vetted tools rarely make mistakes. Since this

When you create your Java application, you do so from the New Project
dialog. When you are in the New Project dialog, there is no category called
“Java” in 11.1. That is why I am still confused and unable to help.
