MacOS Big Sur 12.4 won't start.
NB 12.4 won't start on MacOS Big Sur.
It used to start. It used to work fine.
But I click on the icon on my Dock, and it bounces once and quits.
I double click the app in the Finder, it tries to launch and silently fails.
NB 12.2 launches fine.
How can I start NB, I guess from the command line, to see what it might be
complaining about. I didn't see any new files or changes under
/Applications, or /Library/Application Support that would suggest something
is being logged during the start up..
So, I'm kind of at an impasse for the moment.
Thanks,
Will Hartung

I simply overinstalled it, and it started. So, something, somewhere got
corrupted.
It retained my plugins and such, so, all is well.
Thanks for the help!

Might also try removing both of these:
~/Library/Application Support/NetBeans/12.4
and
~/Library/Caches/NetBeans/12.4

I had not installed 16 before now. It seems to work OK.

Ok, I tried that. I removed the 12.4 cache folder, went to the bin
directory and ran netbeans directly from the terminal.
it silently stops.
It looks like it's trying to start with JDK 16. Does 12.4 work with JDK 16?
I stuck a set -x in nbexec, and, among other things it showed this.
+ '[' -x /usr/libexec/java_home ']'
++ /usr/libexec/java_home --version 1.8+
+
jdkhome=/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/adoptopenjdk-16.jdk/Contents/Home
Thanks!

You should be able to (try to) start from the command line like this:
"/Applications/NetBeans/Apache NetBeans
12.4.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/netbeans/bin/netbeans"
or similar.
but I seem to recall a log that might help as well.
Clearing the cache directory may be necessary. ~
