davidbitterlich opened a new issue, #5977:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/5977

   ### Apache NetBeans version
   
   Apache NetBeans 17
   
   ### What happened
   
   When I add a remote java platform to my project and try to debug my project using this remote java platform, I get the error "Unable to create javax script engine for javascript".
   
   I am using NetBeans' bundled Ant (1.10.8 as of writing this report)
   
   ### How to reproduce
   
   1. Create a new Java Ant Project (File -> New Project -> Java with Ant -> Java Application)
   2. Add a new Configuration in the project properties
   3. Add a new Remote Platform in the project properties (localhost:22 as remote target on NonWindows platforms can be used, too)
   4. Start debugging the project using the Remote Platform defined before
   
   NetBeans will crash in the "jar:" step, remote-project-impl.xml:129: Unable to create javax script engine for javascript
   
   Workaround: Force NetBeans to use OpenJDK 11 as default platform instead of OpenJDK 17
   
   ### Did this work correctly in an earlier version?
   
   Apache NetBeans 12.6 or earlier
   
   ### Operating System
   
   macOS 13.4
   
   ### JDK
   
   17.0.7, OpenJDK, aarch64
   
   ### Apache NetBeans packaging
   
   Apache NetBeans provided installer
   
   ### Anything else
   
   NetBeans uses by default the standard JDK if it does not come with a bundled JDK. In my case this is OpenJDK 17. When I use an older version of OpenJDK (by editing /Applications/NetBeans/Apache NetBeans 17.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/netbeans/etc/netbeans.conf the line netbeans_jdkome to point to OpenJDK 11), the issue will be gone. Instead I get another issue, for which I will create a separate bug report.
   
   The rest of the IDE seems to run well using JDK 17 so I think it is generally compatible with JDK 17, right?
   
   I also think that the Ant version that comes bundles with NetBeans 17 (Ant 1.10.8) is not compatible with OpenJDK 17 (Since Nashorn has been dropped with JDK 15; the most recent version of Ant does not have this problem anymore)
