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
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. -Original Message- From: Geertjan Wielenga Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2019 1:06 PM To: Giommarresi ing.

Great work in identifying the problem, Walter, and confirming it, Giovanni. The question that remains for me is hoe NetBeans could be started at all if the JDK could not be found.

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.

Re: FW: screenshot
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).

And following instructions means naming things the same as in the instructions.

Re: FW: screenshot
You probably mean an empty project. And indeed, no main class can be found because there's no source file at all. So create one and create a main class within it.

RE: FW: screenshot
With "Java with Maven" I get a project with a class but no source file. Attempting to run gives the same apparent error pop-up that there's no main class. Using "Java with Gradle" earns me a message that there's no valid Java platform for key default_platform. -Original Message- From: Geertjan Wielenga Sent: Saturday, September 21, 2019 5:45 AM To: Walter Oney Cc: Carl Mosca ; Neil C Smith ; NetBeans Mailing List Subject: Re: FW: screenshot Now can you try to reproduce the same problem with the Java Application (the first template, right at the top) in “Java with Maven”?

Re: FW: screenshot
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. Gj On Sat, 21 Sep 2019 at 11:21, Walter Oney wrote: > > No, I don’t.
