I just did that and two issues popped up right away: 

Problem: The project uses a class library called "swing-layout", but
this class library was not found.
Solution: Click Resolve to open the Library Manager and create a new
class library called "swing-layout". 

The active project platform is an older version than it's required by
project source/binary format. 

I'm using NetBeans 11.1 with AdoptOpen JDK 11 

So I don't even get as far as you. 

FYI: I'm pretty sure Geertjan said no zips please.

Cheers,
