Edit netbeans.conf

NetBeans needs to be told not to report errors when private JDK classes referenced. The netbeans.conf file is located in the etc directory of your NetBeans install. You will edit netbeans_default_options.

• Change netbeans_default_options to add "-J-DCachingArchiveProvider.disableCtSym=true". You may also wish to increase memory using "-J-Xmx1024m".

Here is a sample file from the Mac.  The Windows and Linux default options might be a bit different.

netbeans_default_options="-J-client -J-Xss2m -J-Xms32m -J-XX:PermSize=32m -J-Xmx1024m -J-DCachingArchiveProvider.disableCtSym=true -J-Dnetbeans.logger.console=true -J-Dapple.laf.useScreenMenuBar=true -J-Dapple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz=true -J-Dsun.java2d.noddraw=true -J-Dsun.java2d.dpiaware=true -J-Dsun.zip.disableMemoryMapping=true -J-Dplugin.manager.check.updates=false -J-Dnetbeans.extbrowser.manual_chrome_plugin_install=yes"
