Cannot find java. Please use the --jdkhome switch

Question

I have just installed Netbeans 8.0.2 on CentOS 6.5.

When I try to run it, I get the message

Cannot find java. Please use the --jdkhome switch
         


        

Answer 1

With the Netbeans 10, commenting out the netbeans_jdkhome setting in .../etc/netbeans.conf doesn't do the job anymore. It is necessary to specify the right directory depending of 32/64 bitness.

E.g. for 64 bit application: netbeans_jdkhome="C:\Program Files\AdoptOpenJDK\jdk8u202-b08"
