Hi all, problem solved, false alarm. On Ubuntu (and probably on Debian as well) the JDK is split in several packages. In order for NetBeans to correctly autodetect all aspects of the JDK the source and doc packages should be installed as well.
For example for JDK 11 at least the following packages are needed: openjdk-11-doc openjdk-11-jdk openjdk-11-jdk-headless openjdk-11-jre openjdk-11-jre-headless openjdk-11-source The openjdk-11-doc can be installed afterwards (as will install the javadocs in the /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/docs folder I mentioned in my first email) while the openjdk-11-source should be present before autodetection otherwise manual addition is a bit cumbersome. Ideally this should be mentioned somewhere on the installation instructions/release notes.
