Check this out. Worked for me [ http://superuser.com/questions/459507/usb-drive-becomes-write-protected-after-inserting-it ]

Changing the Java version Netbeans runs on

I had to install Oracle JDK in my Crunchbang when I faced this. Found no GUI way for this Googled it. A Stackoverflow page shows this. [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6950960/how-to-set-the-jdk-netbeans-runs-on]
The file where this is defined is located in

/usr/local/netbeans-{version}/etc/netbeans.conf

There locate the line that starts with

netbeans_jdkhome=

And make it

netbeans_jdkhome="{where you've placed your java installation i.e. [/usr/lib/jvm/jdk1.8.0]}"
