Description Petr Somol 2012-11-01 09:12:09 UTC 
In JavaSE Project when WebStart is enabled, the Run with Java WebStart checkbox in Project Properties Run panel is enabled and can be checked/unchecked, but its state does not persist when OK is pressed. Currently this does not affect usability of WebStart with JavaSE projects because there exists a WebStart configuration where WS is enabled; the only nuisance would be if for some reason users wanted to disable WS in the WebStart category or enable WS in the default category.

This is common enough actually.  The combination of NetBeans and Ubuntu seems to cause this.  I've reproduced on NetBeans 7.4 +  OpenJDK7 x86_64, NetBeans 8.0 + OpenJDK7 x86_64.

This completely breaks WebStart functionality on Ubuntu.  Any work-arounds would be appreciated as this forces some of my projects to be built on another OS (Windows) until this is resolved.
-----------------------------------------------

This problem is also present on mu Ubuntu 14.04 LTS system.

Bug still present in Ubuntu 15.10:
Product Version: NetBeans IDE 8.0.2 (Build 20150619-debian-8.0.2)
Java: 1.7.0_85; OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM 24.85-b03
Runtime: OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.7.0_85-b01
System: Linux version 4.2.0-16-generic running on amd64; UTF-8; en_US (nb)

and I also agree that it makes it very difficult to work.

Using the Web Start configuration does not help

Workaround: Files->NBProject->project.properties; manually set jnlp.enabled=true; save file, rebuild, then do it all over again whenever the gui is restarted or project web start properties inspected)

I had the same problem with Netbeans 8.1 on FreeBSD. So i have icedtea-web instead of oracle-webstart just like Ubuntu. I use the following workaround.

make the following link in the openjdk/jre/lib-directory 
javaws.jar -> /usr/local/share/icedtea-web/netx.jar
and
set manifest.custom.application.library.allowable.codebase=* in nbproject/project.properties
Comment 5 aroman 2019-06-06 18:22:12 UTC 
lhersch's workaround worked for me! Using
Ubuntu 18.10;  Apache NetBeans IDE 11.0 (Build incubator-netbeans-release-404-on-20190319);  openjdk version "11.0.3" 2019-04-16; OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 11.0.3+7-Ubuntu-1ubuntu218.10.1)

I did:
cd /usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/share/icedtea-web/javaws.jar
