Does the NB installer try to find the JDK folder by calling /usr/libexec/java_home ? If so, the java_home tool is completely broken under Big Sur and will not return a JDK folder unless a JAVA_HOME environment variable is *already* set to a valid JDK, in which case the java_home tool always returns the value $JAVA_HOME. If JAVA_HOME isn't already set, the java_home tool doesn't work at all. You can get it to list other JDKs installed if JAVA_HOME is already set to a valid home folder for one of the JDKs.
I reported these issues to Apple during the Big Sur beta and the report seemed to be reviewed by somebody that didn't have a clue what they were doing and said java_home was working as designed! I reported a couple issues that remain unresolved. Not sure if anyone has a contact at Apple (the one email address I had bounced), but if you do maybe you can give them a nudge.
