The project window within Netbeans IDE is not being displayed. I tried bunch of different things, but the Project window does not open at all.

Things I already tried:

  • Tried with multiple version of Netbeans and JDE, currently using Netbeans IDE 8.2 on MAC.
  • Tried to reset windows using Reset Windows, cmd 1, open existing project, create new project. But still the project window does not open within Netbeans IDE.

I made a clean install on MAC with different version of Netbeans, but the issue remains in all. Any suggestion would be helpful.

  • I think you are looking for [this](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3251202/how-to-open-the-projects-panel-in-netbeans) perhaps. – Sandeep Singh Feb 20 '18 at 10:00
  • Already tried this. @SandeepRandhawa – Qasim Feb 20 '18 at 10:01
  • A few thoughts: [1] Instead of **cmd 1** use **Window -> Projects** to open the **Projects** window. [2] Create a new project. That should open the **Projects** window if it is not already open. [3] If you still don't have a **Projects** window then open the NetBeans log file using **View -> IDE Log** and look for any relevant error messages. – skomisa Feb 20 '18 at 16:09

Have you tried running it with java 8? If you're using java 9 or 10, you don't get a Projects window because NB 8.2 isn't compatible with them.

There's more info at How can I install Netbeans with JDK 10.

This is a known issue in Netbeans 8.2. It happened to me when I upgraded my Ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04. The root cause is that the java version was upgraded to 11 along with the OS.

You can fix this by doing one of the following:

  • Change the default jdk/jre version in the OS to java 8.
  • Change the jdk version to 8 in Netbeans by changing its configuration (etc/netbeans.conf). The configuration name is netbeans_jdkhome

like @rocko say, (I don't have 'add comment' right yet, so answer this frame ) I encounter same problem in NB 12.0 .

DEAL) ...my action

I changed JDK1.8 → JDK 11 setting in netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf After launch NB, then open new project. Project tree appeared and usable again.

#netbeans_jdkhome="C:\xxx\jdk1.8.0_242"
netbeans_jdkhome="C:\xxx\jdk11.0.3_7"
