Michael exactly answered Judi's question! Unless you have a specific need to run NetBeans on a specific JDK, the community installers provide the easiest and self-contained way to use NetBeans with the latest versions of both. Direct link is https://www.codelerity.com/netbeans/ as well as the link on every download page. Relying on globally installed and registered JDKs to *run* the IDE is a pain. If it were solely up to me, I'd have an Apache binary zip for those who want to configure themselves, and only have installers with localised JDK runtimes. It would make our lives and a lot of users' lives easier, and help us move away from threads like this! Which, incidentally, would be better not happening in an [announce] tagged thread ...
