How to run apache netbeans 9? Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher

  • 772

Hello World! I downloaded the apache netbeans from the usual page , I selected the option that says

Binaries: incubating-netbeans-java-9.0-bin.zip

I unzipped it in the folder C:\Ambienteand looked for the 64-bit executable that I found in the folder C:\Ambiente\netbeans\bin, but when I double-click it, it shows me this error in English:

error message on double click: Cannot find Java 1.8 or higher

Which is weird because I have Java installed and configured. When running a cmd and putting the command java -versionI get

java version "11.0.1" 2018-10-16 LTS

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13-LTS)

Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 18.9 (build 11.0.1+13-LTS, mixed mode)

Is there any necessary configuration to be able to run it?

    Doing a search I found on the site in English the procedure to solve it .

    It is about looking in the folder etcthat in my case I found in C:\Ambiente\netbeans\etcand there looking for the commented line that says netbeans_jdkhome=and making it point to the JDK route, in my case it looked like this:

    # Default location of JDK:
# (set by installer or commented out if launcher should decide)
#
# It can be overridden on command line by using --jdkhome <dir>
# Be careful when changing jdkhome.
# There are two NetBeans launchers for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and
# installer points to one of those in the NetBeans application shortcut 
# based on the Java version selected at installation time.
#
netbeans_jdkhome="C:/Program Files/Java/jdk-11.0.1"

    I hope it helps someone who had the same problem.
