Issue
This is a little bit puzzling to me, although this could just be a rookie mistake I'm making. I'm experienced with Python, though I was trying to go ahead and start working with Java via NetBeans. Unlike Python, which had a simple IDE to work with, I can't quite get NetBeans to even start allowing me to put code into the terminal. Here's where I'm at so far.
I've tried uninstalling and downloading the NetBeans IDE, but I seem to have this exact same problem. Does anybody have any idea how to work around this? This is a little bit frustrating, and I thought I would be having difficulty with the syntax, not the complier itself.
Solution
Try removing the userdir.
From the wiki at netbeans.org:
The NetBeans userdir is a directory where NetBeans stores user configuration data such as window layouts, editor settings, menu and toolbar customizations and various module settings.
By default on Windows and Mac OS X the userdir is inside a directory NetBeans in application settings folder.
On Windows this can be found at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\
On OS X this can be found at /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/
