Netbeans 12 and Big Sur

Hi,

after upgrading to MacOS Big Sur, my netbeans 11.2 won't start anymore.
So I changed the setting "netbeans_jdkhome" entry in netbeans.conf but netbeans still no starting.

I installed Netbeans 12.2 with "brew install netbeans" because the web downloaded package didn't find the jdk.

Now Netbeans 12.2 can be launched, but it has no access to the projects and files, nothing can be opened.

By the way I cannot authorize the application to access files and folders under "System preferences > Security " because NetBeans app is not shown there so it cannot be added to the list.
Like @AlephOne told giving all disk access don't change anything.

Any help should be appreciated !

Same issue here. After upgraded the system to Big Sur 11.1, my Netbeans cannot read any file. I cannot add jar file to library, I am not able to import any projects either. When I build project, an error will always show on the console saying like "error: error reading file (operation not permitted)"

Same issue here. After upgraded the system to Big Sur, my Netbeans cannot access to any file or folder. Should this be solved by Apple or Netbeans? How to give full access to Netbeans again? Below recommendations dıd not work

Thanks in advance for your help.

as soon as I updated to BigSur NetBeans stopped working I tried what people suggested on youtube and it did not work for me, I downgraded and it worked fine.

Had solved this problem with last BigSur update by creating a project in a subfolder and then copying all other projects into that folder. However, that solution does NOT work with the latest update.

For those who cannot get their Netbeans access to any file or folder, try launch your Netbeans from terminal.

I had all of the problems mentioned. I had to edit the netbeams configuration file with the location of the JDK as recommended.

I installed NetBeans 12 and tried it with JDK 11. It ran but the dialog boxes froze. I installed JDK 15. Again, it ran but the dialog boxes froze, but this time with a different behavior.

I tried the solution

Settings -> General -> Prefer tabs: never

by jfarjona and that worked for me. All is good now. Thanks for all these suggestions.

I'm trying to install netbeans 12 on mabook m1 but it cannot find the jdk installed on my Mac. I installed three different versions which includes native aarch version from Azul and two more. Please help me out if anyone figured it out!!

Solution:
