Nope, doesn't work. In netbeans.conf, the installer left
netbeans_jdkhome unset, so I set it to "/opt/jdk-17.0.2". The About box
shows that it is indeed running on 17.0.2, but the dialog still looks
the same as in the previous screenshot. It looks to me like one of those
things where it's working properly but isn't displayed right.

The one listed as default, btw, is the one that Debian installed. I
don't remove it because it would break too many dependencies, but
instead use a symlink "/opt/java" pointing to jdk-17.0.2 or whatever
version I want to use (with the $PATH pointing to /opt/java before the
Debian one). Just for fun, I ran "bin/java -version" from the
"default's" directory and did get the correct response (i.e. "The
specified folder does not contain a Java platform" is incorrect).
