Hi,
same problem for me (Windows), no main class;
I corrected the JVM path (as suggested by Walter Oney) and now it works.
Thanks list

Problem solved. The Apache Netbeans installer prompts for the location of the JDK, with a
default of "/usr". By supplying the correct path (/usr/lib/jvm/<something>), I
ended up with a working IDE.
I know from long, hard experience how hard it is to write robust installation
programs. May I diffidently suggest that the Netbeans installer needs to verify
that a valid path is supplied in the answer to that dialog? And that the
library edit dialog permit the user to delete the default library, so as not to
require a delete (a superuser thing) and reinstall.? Just sayin...

I have always been impressed with how extensive the tests (and associated
instructions) are so I would not be surprised if the answer is yes.
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?
