I took the sage advice of several of the responders to this question

in my home directory.
I'm curious, what went wrong there? Have you followed my instructions or
the one on Stackoverflow (that one is outdated and does not work on
NetBeans 13)?
I'd not recommend this desktop file workaround to anyone. The file would
need to be updated every release.
To get netbeans to use the newly installed JDK when invoked from the
KDE menu, I edited the netbeans_netbeans.desktop file in
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/application to add the --jdkhome parm as shown
below.
Thanks to everyone who responded to this issue. I guess I will have
to educate myself on snap.
