[FIXED] Netbeans won't start after setting jdkhome in config

Issue

I'm on mac os big sur. I fully reinstalled java jdk and netbeans. It started at first, but when i tried to install my plugins I got an error message saying "the jdk is missing and is required to run some netbeans modules" After this I set the netbeans_jdkhome to my jdk location. Now my netbeans won't even open (Newest version)

javac -version Output: javac 1.8.0_275


echo $JAVA_HOME Output: /Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_271.jdk/Contents/Home


netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_271.jdk/Contents/Home"

Solution

Look for:
netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"
in
/netbeans_install_dir/etc/netbeans.conf

# Default location of JDK:
# (set by installer or commented out if launcher should decide)
#
# It can be overridden on command line by using --jdkhome <dir>
# Be careful when changing jdkhome.
# There are two NetBeans launchers for Windows (32-bit and 64-bit) and
# installer points to one of those in the NetBeans application shortcut 
# based on the Java version selected at installation time.
#
# netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk" `
