netbeans 8.2, java debugger error on windows 10

Question

recently, netbeans 8.2 on win10, started giving me some debugger errors for java project. the project compiles and runs without issues, but when I try to debug it after I put few breakpoints on some methods, I tried to clean NB cache , I removed build and properties files to have fresh build files , but still getting the follwoing debugger error :

compile-single:

C:........\\nbproject\\build-impl.xml:1351: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:.........\\nbproject\\build-impl.xml:858: nbjpdastart doesn't support the nested "modulepath" element. BUILD FAILED (total time: 0 seconds)

I appreciate your help

thanks

Delete these files from the project folder (From Files tab).

build.xml build-imp.xml Restart netbeans.

Debug again.
