Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"

Following error appeared during installation of Netbeans I found the solution as NetBeans is not able to find the java path.

Exception: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError thrown from the UncaughtExceptionHandler in thread "main"

So the solution is to either correct the java path and correct the environment variables or just put the command line parameter -javahome as following while installing NetBeans.


./netbeans*   --javahome /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

--or--

sh -x netbeans-8.2-linux.sh --javahome /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle

Note: You should have Java 1.8 or less as NetBeans 8.2 does not seems to work with Java 1.9
