------------------------------------------

Hi [~iJof] 

Can you run the following 2 commands from the terminal and send on the results:

$ /usr/libexec/java_home --version 1.8+

$ /usr/libexec/java_home

This issue was raised because during the installation process on a mac before 
BigSur the top line worked correctly, but the way this command worked changed 
in BigSur...  As a result the version flag stopped working.  We got around this 
in the installer by removing that flag: 
[https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/2353/files]

Since the assumption is in this day and age 99% of people would have Java 8+

Maybe the IDE has the same check somewhere?  Although I know there have been 
other users in the BigSur beta who haven't had an issue opening projects...
