Apache NetBeans version

Apache NetBeans 22

What happened

Downloaded netbeans from snap - for new Ubuntu 24.04 install. netbeans would not load even though it had prior to some other application downloads. Able to get it to load from command line with the following errors. Application seems to run ok although the fonts look faint (like never before) and browser won't run when deploying a web app. tried all browsers on system, would only run the browser in the webkit. here is the cli error.

sudo  netbeans --jdkhome /usr/lib/jvm/java-21-openjdk-amd64

How to reproduce

Downloaded from snap (where it has always been fine) Tried removing and reinstalling, same problem. by running netbeans with hard reference to openjdk it runs but I can't see why it isn't accessing the same jdk from normal startup. It appears to be locating it in java settings. tried removing and re-installing from command line with the same result.

Did this work correctly in an earlier version?

don't run desktop apps with sudo this will break config and cache folders in many cases and could cause other problems. I suspect this is what happened here.
