Edit netbeans.conf
We have found the nightly versions of NetBeans to be unstable under JDK8, but fine otherwise. Further, NetBeans needs to be told not to report errors when private JDK classes referenced. The The netbeans.conf file is located in the etc directory of your NetBeans install. You You will edit netbeans_default_options and netbeans_jdkhome.
- Change netbeans_default_options to remove "-J-ea" and add "-J-da -J-DCachingArchiveProvider.disableCtSym=true". It does not hurt You may also wish to increase memory using "-J-Xmx1024m".Change netbeans_jdkhome to point to a JDK7 JVM.
Here is a sample file from the Mac. The Windows and Linux default options might be a bit different.
