@Steve,

The default-jdk package installs the default Java version set by Ubuntu, which may vary.

If you specifically need Java 17, you can install it using:

sudo apt install openjdk-17-jdk

I’ll update the instructions to clarify this.

Appreciate your feedback!

The instructions are incorrect.

On my Ubuntu 22.04 system, running:

sudo apt install default-jdk

installs:

$ java -version
openjdk version "11.0.26" 2025-01-21

However, Java 17 is required.

Thanks for the inconvenience.

I did everything as told, and it doesn’t show on my Chromebook.

I am unable to install Netbeans. The installer says Java SE Development Kit (JDK) was not found on this computer. I have downloaded the JDK tar ball – how do I “install” it? The instructions at https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/install/installation-jdk-linux-platforms.html#GUID-737A84E4-2EFF-4D38-8E60-3E29D1B884B8 are incomplete – they never say explicitly how to “install” – or at least I can’t understand what they’re saying.

Thanks! It worked for me using Xubuntu 20.04 just following the instructions in “How to Install NetBeans Using Snap-On Ubuntu, Mint & Debian” :).
