Netbeans 8.2, which has been good in previous macOs versions, crashes at startup. Monterey 12.0.1 installed. I can start java manually from the path that is mentioned in the text.

Solution

Thanks for the replies. I agree that 8.2 is an old and out of scope. I upgraded to Netbeans 12.5, edit the config file for Netbeans to use an updated JDK version8. Works perfectly. Old projects were imported and runs well.

So now, you also have my vote to close this issue.
