Answer 1

The problem is that you are using JDK 11 on NetBeans 8.2. That combination just won't work.

You have four options:

• Configure Netbeans 8.2 to use JDK 8 instead, since that is the most recent JDK that NetBeans 8.2 supports. See this SO answer for details on how to do that.
• Download and install NetBeans 9.0, which will allow you to use JDK 9 and/or JDK 10 as well.
• Wait for NetBeans 10 which will allow you to use JDK 11. It should be released in the next week or two.
• Download and install a beta version of NetBeans 10 and use JDK 11 at your own risk.
