What is NBM file?

The file with the extension NBM is the Plugin Files file type. It was designed by Oracle. Additionally, the Plugin Files category contains 179 of other files. NetBeans Module appears on 3 operating systems as a functional file. These systems consist of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, although it may occasionally be found on another system, it will be non-functional. The NetBeans application is recommended to open the file. It was released by Oracle Corporation. This file type can also be opened by 2 other programs.

How to open NBM file?

An often recurring problem with NetBeans Module is that NBM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open NBM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the NBM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install NetBeans

The first step is to check if the computer has the NetBeans program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name NetBeans in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file NBM.

Programs to open NBM file

Remember to download programs supporting NBM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of NetBeans with NBM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the NBM file still does not use the NetBeans program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the NBM file with the NetBeans program.

Step 3. Update NetBeans to the latest version

If, however, after binding NetBeans with NetBeans Module there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Oracle Corporation website or update the program from the application.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the NBM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:

The NBM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the NBM file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the NBM file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected NBM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the NBM files changes over time. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular NBM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting Oracle, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted NBM files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move NBM to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the NBM file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the NBM file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
