I'm trying to install Apache NetBeans IDE on my MacOS Big Sur, but it fails at the beginning
This is my java -version
I tried to edit the .profile or .bash_profile for the java_home as some people said in other answers, but it did nothing.

What I did here was the combining of the answers I received.
I installed the latest Apache NetBeans IDE which is the 12.1.
Right-click on : Apache NetBeans 12.1.app -> Show package contents
Go to : /Contents/Resources/NetBeans/netbeans/etc
Open 'netbeans.conf' with text editor.
Search for : #netbeans_jdkhome="/path/to/jdk"
Add the path to your JDK below like this :
netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk-11.0.9.jdk/Contents/Home"
Save.
Run the program.
Try installing Java 8.
brew tap adoptopenjdk/openjdk
brew cask install adoptopenjdk8
If you end up in Error: Cask adoptopenjdk8 exists in multiple taps: due to prior workarounds with different instructions, specify the absolute location like this:
brew cask install adoptopenjdk/openjdk/adoptopenjdk8
Once the installation is complete, add JAVA_HOME to ~/.profile and source it.
export JAVA_HOME=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-8.jdk/Contents/Home
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin
To install NetBeans IDE, issue
brew cask install netbeans
A better alternative i found is to install netbeans using homebrew package repository with command which will install netbeans on your machine.
brew install netbeans
I So the procedures with setting java_home and that stuff did not work for me. What I did is download the binary zip from netbeans, and opened etc/netbeans.conf. In here, you can simply set the path to your JDK (netbeans_jdkhome="/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_271.jdk/Contents/Home"), where you'll need to remove the # in front of this line. If you now run bin/netbeans in this folder, you can run netbeans. Let me know if this helps!
Java is usually already installed in Mac OS. Netbeans installation sometimes is the problem. I had the same issue. I resolved it by installing netbeans using brew cask install netbeans. Use the command line instead of trying to download netbeans from the web.
I did this procedure: Installing Netbeans 8.2 on MacOS Big Sur no JDK found.
I installed Java 8 and Netbeans 12.1. I couldn’t install Netbeans 8.2, fortunately the installer imports Netbeans 8.2 preferences.
I used Netbeans 8.2 with JDK 8u111.
You can download this version of Netbeans in this link: https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/es/java/javase/downloads/jdk-netbeans-jsp-3413139-esa.html
