John McDonnell commented on NETBEANS-4779: ------------------------------------------ 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?
