I bring my experience and conclusions p.t. regarding installing NB on a MacBook Pro 15" with Big Sur. It is not working well, so I hope for a remedy, and I can contribute as needed.
1. NB 12.0 LTS does not look in the right place for the JDK and thus, refuses to install. It does not search the folders for a JDK, it seems to expect a particular folder? (I am guessing).
2. NB 12.2 does look in the right place for the JDK and thus, can be installed.
3. NB12.2 can create a new java project, however the /netbeans folder it uses is a mystery. Where is it? Made two projects, one grade and one ant, and both of them are only visible through NB!
4. NB 12.2 can not see old java projects that INDEED IS available in the SSD. So, it can only create a new project.
I am sure there are more strange things, but this is the findings so far after one evening's work. Note also that the day before, this same version of NB was installed on Windows, not causing problems (except a wrong font size, which is a minor).
