I just completed a first time installation of apache netbeans 11.0 on a windows 10 system. I have previously installed netbeans 8.2 which is using jdk.1.8.0_241 installed in C:/ProgramFiles (x86)/java. I installed netbeans 11.0 in C;/Program Files/NetBeans 11.0/netbeans.
netbeans64.exe would not start, complaining that it could not find jdk 8 or higher. After setting netbeans_jdkhome to my jdk1.8.0_241 path, netbeans64.exe started fine. I then attempted to create my first javaFX project using ANT. The project was created. But when I run it, I get a window displaying Available Classes, but only containing the text "Initializing view, please wait..." and when I click the text and then click "Select Class",the output to the console contains the following error Executing C:\Users\don\Documents\NetBeansProjects\NewTest\dist\run2028048121\NewTest.jar using platform C:\Program Files (x86)\java\jdk1.8.0_241\jre/bin/java Error: Could not find or load main class Initializing view, please wait ... Can anyone tell me what to do to get this program to run? Thanks.
