Description

Following the NetCat test:
[https://netbeans-vm.apache.org/synergy/client/app/#/assignment/2381/v/1
]I try to run the web application (note, only the JDK 12 platform is configured on Netbeans).

 

Steps:

1. I click on the Run Project Button
   Expected: Glassfish run and the example webpage appears on my browser
2. A popup appears saying:
   "Glassfish server could not be started with JDK12 (default) please select another JavaSE platform".
   There is a dropdown that allows to select other JDKs but it doesn't contain any alternative.
   There is a button "Manage platform" that can be used to configure other java platforms.
3. I select Manage platform button and add JDK11
   Expected: JDK 11 is selectable in the popup displayed at step 2
   Actual: The dropdown menu is still empty and it is not possible to select a java platform
4. Click on cancel to close the popup
5. Right click on the webapplication root node in the project view
6. Select properties > build > compile
   On the right part of the panel JDK12(default) is selected as java platform
7. From the dropdown menu change the selection to JDK11

The changes are not taken in account, when I click on run the same popup says me that glassfish can not be started with jdk 12
