Can’t create project on Netbeans 8.2

EDIT:
The solution is to install JDK 8, as JDK 9 and beyond are currently not supported.

If however, you already have installed JDK 8, then kindly follow the steps outlined below.

The reason is that there is a conflict with the base JDK that NetBeans starts with. You have to set it to a lower version.

1. Go to the folder "C:\Program Files\NetBeans 8.2\etc", or wherever NetBeans is installed.
2. Open the netbeans.conf file.
3. Locate netbeans_jdkhome and replace the JDK path there with "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_152", or wherever your JDK is installed. Be sure to use the right path, or you will run into problems. Here, JDK 1.8.0_152 is installed.
4. Save the file, and restart NetBeans. It worked for me, should do for you too.
