Forcing NetBeans to use JDK1.8 NetBeans on MAC OS X uses a version of JDK in some non-explicit way, and it's not always what you want. Usually it's based on the the most recent JDK installation. So if you installed JDK. Product Version: NetBeans IDE 6.7 RC3 (Build 01) Java: 1.5.019; Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.5.019-137 System: Mac OS X version 10.5.7 running on i386; MacRoman; enUS (nb) After the update of JDK on Mac OS X it is not possible to create project. This distribution of the JDK includes the Java SE bundle of NetBeans IDE, which is a powerful integrated development environment for developing applications on the Java platform. Any Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.7.3 (Lion) or later. Administrator privileges. Note that installing the JDK on a Mac is performed on a system wide basis, for all users, and administrator privileges are required. So, you're ready to start programming php (or C/C/Java etc) on you Mac, but you wind up with Netbeans having a big button labeled 'Left Button' in the noti.
This page describes how to install and uninstall JDK 8 for OS X computers.
This page has these topics:
See 'JDK 8 and JRE 8 Installation Start Here' for general information about installing JDK 8 and JRE 8.
See 'OS X Platform Install FAQ' for general information about installing JDK 8 on OS X.
System Requirements
Observe the following requirements:
Any Intel-based computer running OS X 10.8 (Mountain Lion) or later.
Administrator privileges.
Note that installing the JDK on OS X is performed on a system wide basis, for all users, and administrator privileges are required. You cannot install Java for a single user.
Installing the JDK also installs the JRE. The one exception is that the system will not replace the current JRE with a lower version. To install a lower version of the JRE, first uninstall the current version as described in 'Uninstalling the JRE'.
JDK Installation Instructions
When you install the Java Development Kit (JDK), the associated Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed at the same time. The JavaFX SDK and Runtime are also installed and integrated into the standard JDK directory structure.
Depending on your processor, the downloaded file has one of the following names:
Netbeans Jdk Mac Os X Install

Determining the Default Version of the JDK
If you have not yet installed Apple's Java OS X 2012-006 update, then you are still using a version of Apple Java 6 that includes the plug-in and the Java Preferences app. See 'Note for Users of OS X that Include Apple Java 6 Plug-in'.
There can be multiple JDKs installed on a system, as many as you wish.
When launching a Java application through the command line, the system uses the default JDK. It is possible for the version of the JRE to be different than the version of the JDK.
You can determine which version of the JDK is the default by typing java -version in a Terminal window. If the installed version is 8u6, you will see a string that includes the text 1.8.0_06. For example:
Netbeans Jdk Mac Os X 10.6
To run a different version of Java, either specify the full path, or use the java_home tool:
Mac Os Jdk Install
For more information, see the java_home(1) man page.
Mac Install Jdk
Uninstalling the JDK
To uninstall the JDK, you must have Administrator privileges and execute the remove command either as root or by using the sudo(8) tool.
For example, to uninstall 8u6:
Do not attempt to uninstall Java by removing the Java tools from /usr/bin. This directory is part of the system software and any changes will be reset by Apple the next time you perform an update of the OS.
