the NetBeans project doesn't release anything packaged as compressed tar at the 
moment.


Since you mentioned that you can launch NB from CLI but not from the ubuntu 
start menu, it likely means that either the package was broken or you have two 
versions of NB installed right now - one from the ubuntu repo (which must be 
very old) and one which you installed manually.


long story short:

the easiest way to fix this is to uninstall NB again until its gone from the 
start menu and also doesn't launch from CLI. Then you grab the .deb from 
https://netbeans.apache.org/download/nb25/ and install it.

(or you pick one of the community installers which bundle a recent JDK with NB 
in one package)

best regards,
