   Did you bring over settings and plugins when upgrading the IDE?  One potential cause for scanning issues is an older version of nb-javac from plugins than is now bundled in the IDE.  Using a clean run (new userdir and cachedir) of the IDE is a good idea in such cases to verify concerns caused in importing settings / plugins, particularly from a few releases back.  Cleaning out the cachedir by itself can occasionally fix issues - something I used to notice particularly on first runs when nb-javac was a plugin.
   
   I would use JDK 11, 17 or 19, as they were the main tested on JDKs for NB17 - it's unlikely but possible JDK 12 was a cause of issue.
   
   Closing this as you said you've resolved the issue.  Comment again if the problem recurs with the current setup.
