Question

I'm trying to debug a java code on netbeans 8.2 and JDK 1.8.131, but I keep getting this error

nbproject\build-impl.xml:1351: The following error occurred while executing this line: nbproject\build-impl.xml:858: nbjpdastart doesn't support the nested "modulepath" element.

there's no sufficient explanation about this error when I google it, I appreciate your help thanks

Answer 1

Delete these files from the project folder (From Files tab).

• build.xml
• build-imp.xml

Restart netbeans.

Debug again.

Answer 2

Just delete build-imp.xml and restart NetBeans, it will create a new one ;)
