I run NetBeans 8.2, NetBeans 11, and NetBeans 11.1 daily on a Windows 10 Professional desktop. I've never had any trouble installing or running the platforms.
For this mix, here's how I do things.
1. Download OpenJDK 11.0.4 from adoptopenjdk.net
Download the appropriate zip file (64 bit version for me).
2. Unzip it in a reasonable place
I usually put 64 bit code in D:\Programs-x64. This way I don't have
spaces in directory names in case there are legacy issues with spaces on
Windows. I also don't want to clutter up a limited size SSD (I should
really get a larger one).
3. Edit some environment variables
3.a. Add JDK_HOME to point to the location where you unzipped the openjdk
3.b. Add JRE_HOME to point to the location where you unzipped the openjdk
Please note that the location of the server JRE has changed, and it is
now mixed in with the JDK. In short, both java, and javac are in the
same subdirectory (bin).
I set JRE_HOME since Apache Tomcat makes use of that environment
variable if set.
3.c. Edit the PATH environment variable
1. Add %JDK_HOME%\bin to the path
2. Remove any previous JREs from the PATH (for me, %JRE_HOME%\bin)
3. If you have JDK / JRE 8 installed (I do)
Remove C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Oracle\Java\javapath (or
wherever it is) from the path.
4. To verify that everything is installed correctly, open up a
PowerShell Window and type:
4.a. java -version
(you should get the following)
openjdk version "11.0.4" 2019-07-16
OpenJDK Runtime Environment AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.4+11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM AdoptOpenJDK (build 11.0.4+11, mixed mode)
4.b. javac -version
(you should get the following)
javac 11.0.4
4.c jshell
(you should get the following)
| Welcome to JShell -- Version 11.0.4
| For an introduction type: /help intro
jshell>
Ctrl-D should exit jshell.
5. Download the Apache NetBeans 11.1 zip file
6. Unzip it somewhere appropriate - I use D:\Programs\Apache
7. Launch the netbeans64.exe file from the directory
I usually tweak the netbeans.conf file for larger fonts, UTF-8, and some
other things. However, that's beyond the scope of these installation
notes. I also add the JDK 8 installation under Tools -> Java Platforms
since I still have projects that require JDK 8 (servlet specification
2.5, sigh).
I hope this gets you running.
. . . . just my two cents
