C++ Won't Install in Netbeans 11.0

I'm a beginner at programming and would like to know more about C++. I installed Netbeans since it says it supports Java (which I am currently studying the basics at school) and C++ (which I want to study for personal interest). But when I tried to create a new project, I can't find C++. So I followed tutorials and ended up trying to install the plugin. The thing is, it is not successful for me. A message says:

"The Plugin Installer found problem timeout of loading C/C++ Remote Development API[org.netbeans.modules.cnd.api.remote/1.29.5.1] while install the following plugins: C/C++"

JDK version: java version "14.0.2" Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 14.0.2+12-46) Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0.2+12-46, mixed mode, sharing)

NetBeans version: Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build incubator-netbeans-release-404-on-20190319)

Windows 10

Any recommendation/solution for me to both run Java and C++ on Netbeans? Thank you!

It did work for me downgrading the default Java from version 14 to version 11.

After having commented somewhere above my unsuccessful experience like yours. I decided to try it again but now focusing on Java version. I realized that Java version was the common point between your and mine environment. You tried Netbeans 11 but I the recent version 12, and I had successful experiences in the past using C/C++ plugin with versions 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 of Netbeans.

I didn't go deeper to answer why it worked with Java 11 and not with 14. However, I can't believe it is the JVM version purely.

Later, after the installation I changed it again to Java 14, and it's still working. Below is the output terminal:

$ sudo update-alternatives --config java
There are 3 choices for the alternative java (providing /usr/bin/java).

Experienced this problem with Netbeans 12. As experiment installed 11 but in the install dialog for the location and Java selection I didn't allow the JDK 15. I selected the current default Java 11. The C++ install worked.

Uninstalled 12 and reinstalled with changing to default Java. It installed C++ fine and works okay.
