Do you use a tiling or non-parenting WM? In past cases you need to tell Java to do a few different hacks to support that.

Basically, install the wmname port and run:

$ wmname LG3D

This tricks Java's GUI toolkit into thinking it is running its older supported Looking Glass 3D display system which worked similarly to a non-parenting WM.

Surprised this is still needed.

Compiled netbeans from ports with java version 11 as default .
It starts fine here.
