Please try to open you Services window, right-click node Databases -> Java DB, and select Properties... Is the Java DB installation set correctly? In Databases -> Drivers -> Java DB (Network), right-click, Customize, are some Driver File(s) set and do they exist? Did you import settings from previous installation, or do you have a clean install? Thank you.
I was able to reproduce the bug. Probably, it is better to show an info message and suggest opening "Add Driver" dialog instead of throwing an exception. Fixed in http://hg.netbeans.org/core-main/rev/62c8254e25fc Thank you for reporting.
