The specified JDK Version is "2724.0.0.0.0", while the maximum is "500.0.0.0.0"

Question

While installing the Netbeans IDE latest version, i encountered the error

"The specified JDK Version is "2724.0.0.0.0", while the maximum is "500.0.0.0.0" "

Not sure on what is causing this issue. Class Path, Java Home all have been set correctly. Even the jdk path is given correctly in the Netbeans

Kindly help me in the same.

Answer 1

NetBeans 12.5 runs using a JRE which should be either version 8, 11 or 17.0.1 or higher (NOT JDK 17). To run it, install JDK 17.0.1 (Recommended because it's the latest LTS)

Update (Oct 13, 2021): I tried JDK 16.0.2 and it also works. JDK 17 still doesn't work.

Update 2 (Oct 22, 2021): I realised that JDK 17.0.1 had come out, so I tried it with NetBeans 12.5 and it works now. Maybe JDK 17 was a bit bugged in terms of version numbers. Anyways, it officially works with JDK 17.0.1
