I'm attempting to debug a Java app in NetBeans 8.2 using JDK 1.8.171.
I get the following error:
nbproject\build-impl.xml:1351:
The following error occurred while executing this line: nbproject\build-impl.xml:858:, nbjpdastart doesn't support the nested "modulepath" element.
Same problem and question here.
In the comment thread it was suggested to remove the build.xml and build-impl.xml as a solution.
I was skeptical about the solution suggested since the build-impl.xml is a generated file using the build.xml file. Also, when doing a build, clean/build, run or debug netBeans will be expecting the build.xml file.
I tried the suggested solution in incremental steps. First I deleted just the generated file (build-impl.xml), but I received an error that the build-impl.xml was missing. I then tried deleting the build.xml, and got the error that the build.xml file was missing. Is there something else that needs to be done to implement a working solution? Is there some other work around for this issue? I am aware that there is a NetBeans Bugzilla bug#271443, but this refers to a JavaFX debugging issue. I am having this issue with a Java application (not a JavaFX app).
