Netbeans: Java module installed but can not create a Java project, why?

Question

So I have been experiencing this problem for a while. I can use my existing java projects which I created on my PC, but on my laptop I can't create new Java projects. I reinstalled the program & reinstalled modules several times.

So when I click on new project, every java-type project is in the list except the regular one called 'java'... And the funny thing is that Java is the only project type I need at the moment, but it's simply not showing up..

I've looked on the internet for an answer but all I could find was one topic which was unanswered.

Help would be appreciated, a lot.

EDIT: OS: windows 7 64 bits. Using Netbeans 7.2 I think, well the newest for sure.

And JDK 1.7 one assumes. If you did have a prior 7 version, it would be best to delete them (on Linux a .netbeans/netbeans7.2 directory). — Joop Eggen

I just solved this problem by simply deleting .netbeans folder in User\<User>\ and .superId in \AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\

No need to reinstall.

Unfortunately you left out the OS you are using and you didn't mention the version of netbeans you tried!

You should completely uninstall netbeans. On UNIX OSes you'll find the .netbeans Folder in your homedir where netbeans keeps a lot of information. Remove this folder too (I don't know where this folder is stored on Windows OSes).

Having removed both netbeans and this folder, try a re-installation. Now things should look much better!

In my case I have installed multiple JDK (JDK version 8 and 9) due to which Netbeans 8.2 might not working as expected and then I was unable to create project.

Then I removed JDK9 and cleared cache from \Users\admin\AppData in windows.

Then I was able to create Java Project.
