I got the following message when opening NetBeans that JDK has not been found on this computer. I have got the JDK installed, and set the bin directory in the environment. Btw, I am using Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

I have tried this in the command prompt.

C:\Users\admin\Downloads>netbeans-8.2-windows.exe --javahome "C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jdk-10.0.2"

But then I get this message.

It's only the launcher stub.
OS: x64

Does someone know what I can do about this? Thanks.

  • AFAIK NetBeans 8.2 is not compatible with Java 9 or higher. You may want to install Java 8. – Mark Rotteveel Aug 03 '18 at 15:04
  • Oh this was the problem my bad, thanks man. – florian de wulf Aug 03 '18 at 15:11
  • You can run Java 9 and higher with [NetBeans 9](https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb90/nb90.html) which was released last week. NetBeans 9 can be installed and run concurrently with NetBeans 8.2; the two releases do not impact each other at all. – skomisa Aug 03 '18 at 15:35

  • @Anees Given the cause and solution is different, I'm not sure that is an appropriate duplicate. – Mark Rotteveel Feb 09 '19 at 09:40
  • @MarkRotteveel Sorry I don't understand what you are saying. Can you clarify it? Are you referring to the comment or the answer I have posted? – Bertram Gilfoyle Feb 09 '19 at 11:07
  • @Anees I'm responding to your proposed duplicate. If it had been a response to your answer, I would have posted my comment on your answer. – Mark Rotteveel Feb 09 '19 at 11:51
  • Of course that is how you should do it. But your comment "Given the cause and solution is different" is still confusing me. What solution? You mean the accepted answer in the post I have mentioned? – Bertram Gilfoyle Feb 09 '19 at 12:24

Java 8 is still the standard for now. Uninstall java 10 and install this and reset your env vars.

Your computer is 64bit. so your jdk should be in Program Files not Program Files(x86)

C:\Users\admin\Downloads>netbeans-8.2-windows.exe -javahome "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-10.0.2"

JDK 8 was the latest version at time of NetBeans 8.2 is developed. For that reason, JDK 8 is required for installing and running all NetBeans Bundles of version 8.0 - 8.02. They do not run on JDK 9 or later.

Download JDK 8
Download latest version of NetBeans
