Yes, I am aware of that, but the strange thing about it is that previous to this attempt Netbeans 9 ran with no problems (that I could identify) on JDK 10 and suddenly, after uninstalling it and trying 11, it would not or could not identify JDK 10 as a valid platform again, even though I had just been using it. Again, I might be missing a step in configuring the JDK and PATH here that could be the real reason it doesn't work.
I do understand how this issue might as well be ignored since the roadmap for Netbeans is far past version 9, but I'll try a few more JDK versions and builds tomorrow anyway, see if something different pops up.

How would that be possible anyway, JDK 11 was released months after NetBeans 9.

It did not work then, as the "Invalid jdkhome specified" message popup appeared, and then the "Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher" error message. I uninstalled the previous JDK (10) I was using before trying this. This happens as well with the PATH system variable modified to include the path to the jdk\bin folder, or when running the .exe file (32 or 64 bit) from cmd or pwsh with the --jdkhome <path> flag set to said \bin. Later on I tested with AdoptOpenJDK and Azul Zulu builds of JDK 10, and then installed Oracle's JAVA SE 10. None of these would allow me to run Netbeans 9 again. The last thing I tried was to run a clean copy of the Netbeans 9 build, freshly downloaded from the Apache site, but there was no difference. I'd appreciate any possible clarification of this issue, whether it might be the need to build a more up to date version of Netbeans, or some step in setting up the JDK environment I am skipping by mistake. Thank you E.G.C.
