I had a similar problem last year
https://lists.apache.org/list?users@netbeans.apache.org:2023-8:tilman
Try to find this file on your system
C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\20\config\Preferences\org\netbeans\modules\maven\externalOwners.properties
and open it with NOTEPAD++ and remove the bad characters (in my case, it
was \0000)

Hi,
On starting Netbeans 20, just after the background scanning external
files ends, I am getting the exception shown below. Netbeans seems to
be functioning correctly.
Steps to recreate the problem: Start Netbeans 20 with two open projects
OS: Linux Mint 19.3 Cinnamon (5.4.0-150-generic)
