Is that the only problem you have when opening a panel in NetBeans? For example, does it work if you do Window > Navigator or Window > Files or Windows > Tasks? — skomisa
Window > Files does not work. New Project does not work. New File does not work — Waleed

The problem is that you are using JDK 11 on NetBeans 8.2. That combination just won't work.

You have four options:

Configure Netbeans 8.2 to use JDK 8 instead, since that is the most recent JDK that NetBeans 8.2 supports. See this SO answer for details on how to do that.
Download and install NetBeans 9.0, which will allow you to use JDK 9 and/or JDK 10 as well.
Wait for NetBeans 10 which will allow you to use JDK 11. It should be released in the next week or two.
Download and install a beta version of NetBeans 10 and use JDK 11 at your own risk.
