I guess, the 2nd one in the zip file is the one you need.

It's a bit surprising that NB was released with this issue.

It can be worked around by editing netbeans.conf and changing

netbeans_jdkhome="/usr"

to

netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java"

This works on Fedora 22.  YMMV on other distros.  (You can copy the correct value from a prior install of NB.)
