Getting severe error on start

[MoritzSkowronski]

Hi,

on my Windows 11 64 machine with jdk 18 installed, I get the following error on startup:

SEVERE: No way to find original stream handler for jar protocol
java.lang.reflect.InaccessibleObjectException: Unable to make field transient java.net.URLStreamHandler java.net.URL.handler accessible: module java.base does not "opens java.net" to unnamed module @40f9161a
	at java.base/java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.checkCanSetAccessible(AccessibleObject.java:357)
	at java.base/java.lang.reflect.AccessibleObject.checkCanSetAccessible(AccessibleObject.java:297)

Am I using the wrong idk?

Right, it looks like we need JDK 8 or 11.

Wow, that fast! ;)

Nooby question: Is there any way to download idk 8 or 11 without having to register on the oracle site?!

[saudet]

Yes, it's all available from here: https://adoptopenjdk.net/

BTW, it's also possible to use JDK 17, or more recent, by enabling a couple of parameters that I've added to commit e0e853e. Those will be needed until NetBeans adds support for newer versions of the JDK.

Thanks for the update! Will check it out asap :)
