Issue reported to apache devs. Workaround : start Netbeans from a terminal window: > "/Applications/NetBeans/Apache NetBeans 11.2.app/Contents/Resources/NetBeans/netbeans/bin/netbeans"

Hi, after upgrading to MacOS Big Sur, my netbeans 11.2 won't start anymore. So I changed the setting "netbeans_jdkhome" entry in netbeans.conf but netbeans still no starting. I installed Netbeans 12.2 with "brew install netbeans" because the web downloaded package didn't find the jdk. Now Netbeans 12.2 can be launched, but it has no access to the projects and files, nothing can be opened. By the way I cannot authorize the application to access files and folders under "System preferences > Security " because NetBeans app is not shown there so it cannot be added to the list. Like @AlephOne told giving all disk access don't change anything. Any help should be appreciated ! Bernard
