added ubuntu tag, as the issue seems to be related to how the OS is configured

WARNING: environment variable DISPLAY is not set (netbeans)
I was trying to install Netbeans in Xubuntu. I had installed Netbeans using Snapd.

```bash
sudo snap install netbeans --classic
```

I was trying to start Netbeans then I got an error which was looking like this 

```bash
netbeans
```

>can't find JDK (I completely don't remember the error but I had fixed it)

I had solved it this way

```bash
$which javac
/usr/bin/javac
```
```bash
netbeans_jdkhome='/usr/bin/javac'
```

Then when I try to start netbeans again I get the error.

```bash
netbeans
/snap/netbeans/50/netbeans/platform/lib/nbexec: WARNING: environment variable DISPLAY is not set
```

I had quick search in DuckDuckGo. I didn't search in Google for "safety". I couldn't find any related problem in DuckDuckGo.

**Note** : I was using Java in Android Studio. But I couldn't find java in my system that's why I had to install it again. `sudo apt-get install openjdk-16-jdk-headless`
