This week I installed netbeans 8.1 in my fresh ubuntu 18.04 installation.Prior to that I have installed jdk,jre and configured the JAVA_HOME variable.After trying to open netbeans I get the netbeans loading screen.However when the loading screen writes "Turning on modules" after a while netbeans will close.I've tried starting it through terminal but I get no errors.However I found this text files in my netbeans var folder

Any ideas why this is happening?

I suggest all of you read the chat that is posted on comments.I couldn't fix netbeans 8.1.What I did though was to download the latest version (8.2) from the site and install it using the bash script.However after opening netbeans 8.2 I couldn't create a new project.

Then I found the folowing stack overflow question: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46476470/cant-create-project-on-netbeans-8-2

In summary what I have to do was to find my netbeans.conf file and change my java_home path
