------------------------------------------
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...
