I'm a Java noob (but have been programming for 25+ years, and have worked with OO languages from day 1).

All of a sudden I started getting this error:

Your active platform is: JDK_1.6, but the corresponding property "platforms.JDK_1.6.home" is not found in the project's properties files.

Not sure what caused this condition, and not sure what Java's asking me to do. I'm working in the NetBeans IDE. The last thing I attempted to do is add some binary (image) resources to my project.

In my case the JDK setup in Netbeans was fine. It was just one of those strange Netbeans issues that come out of nowhere.

My fix was:

Clear the Netbeans Cache i.e. delete the folder: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\NetBeans\Cache\
