Question

Introduction

I've come across an unexpected error caused by calling Java

Version Found..17.0.8 java.lang.Error: factory already defined at java.base/java.net.URL.setURLStreamHandlerFactory(URL.java:1228)

in an Netbeans Ant application that is being updated to Netbeans 15 and jdk 17 from netbeans 8.1 and jdk 1.8 version.
