"Java SE" plugin not activated
https://github.com/apache/netbeans/issues/7091

I've used Tools / Plugins / Installed and select "Java SE" and Activate
after that on "Java SE" both "Activate" and "Deactivate" buttons are disabled and DOESN'T state as Active.
Can someone give more information about this problem or how to fix it.
here is how looks like:

@CodeExplorer I'd susggest using older NB version

eg I"m still perfectly running/using this old guy:

Hi again. I've found the problem: unsupported JAVA jdk.

https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html?variant=openjdk12&jvmVariant=hotspot#x32_win

https://javaalmanac.io/jdk/download/#product=temurin&version=19&type=all&platform=windows-x86
I've found that jdk-12.0.2+10, jdk-17.0.11+9 and jdk-19.0.2+7 works just fine;
but I don't know how to choose between these different versions.
 

"Eclipse Temurin is the open source Java SE build based upon OpenJDK."

https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=16&package=jdk&arch=x86&os=windows
v16, v17 LTS, v19
while on https://javaalmanac.io/jdk/download/#product=temurin&version=19&type=all&platform=windows-x86
exist v17 and v19 exists; but what is strange is that v17 release date is JAVA_VERSION_DATE="2024-04-16"
while v19 has older date.

Edit:
According to https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/?version=17&package=jdk&arch=x86&os=windows
 v17 is LTS - Long-term support https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-term_support
so this has to do with release date.
