The problem is that you are running NetBeans 12.0 with JDK 17. That is not a supported combination. From the release notes for NetBeans 12.0:

Apache NetBeans 12.0 runs on the JDK LTS releases 8 and 11, as well as on JDK 14, i.e., the current JDK release at the time of this NetBeans release.

Either install and use a supported JDK with NetBeans 12.0, or install and use NetBeans 12.6 with JDK 17.
