That's the standard install location on Ubuntu / Debian derivatives as far as I know. Partly about supporting the alternatives system. NetBeans runs fine with OpenJDK 8 on Ubuntu. I've not used it with an Oracle JDK for many years. Something weird about needing to set jdkhome from the JRE though. Was the JDK not installed when NetBeans was installed? I'd be tempted to uninstall all JDKs and NetBeans, reinstall OpenJDK8, then reinstall NetBeans.
