Description

Netbeans was chugging along nicely and then when I installed an update from JAVA 8 to JAVA 11, the UI just STOPPED.

I uninstalled and reinstalled 11.3, nothing

I installed 12.1, nothing.

The program launches with the splash screen, then it disappears. The Program is running below the active programs, but there's no UI.

I need Netbeans back as I HATE VS Code.
