Given the age and pervasiveness of NetBeans, I would be surprised if the elementary thing I've attempted was *not* covered by a standard test. What I have observed, though, is that a brand new user attempts things that QA wouldn't think of doing. It's likely that I've installed the wrong version of something, or omitted to put something in the PATH, or omitted to set the permissions on some directory, or something outlandish like that. Based on what I've reported so far, I think the problem has to be with NetBeans and not with either Ant or Maven. A likely culprit would be the JDK and, specifically, whatever calls NetBeans makes to Java-like things as it's creating new projects. I don't recall specifically where I got the JDK from, but I probably did a search within Firefox (using whatever Firefox's default search engine is) and picked the top choice from among the search results. All of a sudden, perhaps since I started trying to use Maven, NetBeans is now listing the default library (JDK version 11) as a "broken platform". The edit dialog is letting me add a different platform (the same one Ant tells me to look in to find the java runtime), but it's not letting me delete the broken one. Perhaps getting past this roadblock would lead to a better outcome? -- Walter C.
