I have downloaded the installer for NetBeans 8.1 IDE. Already have the JVM, and have granted executable permission on the.sh. When I open the installer from the terminal, I get the window that says "Welcome to the NetBeans 8.1 IDE Installer", the list of the packages and runtimes included, and a Customize, Next, and Cancel button. However, it stops there, and will not let me click on any of the buttons. What is most peculiar is that it will not let me Quit, nor will it let me Force Quit..apparently it is still responding. Any ideas as to what this issue may be?

If you are using .sh file to install netbeans then you may have opened that .sh file in terminal directly.
Try opening it using following command:
sudo bash <netbeans_installationfile.sh>;

It's a bug
I solved by following this guide
Install Oracle 1.8 java and fix the jdk location of your ~/netbeans-8.1/etc/netbeans.conf
to /usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle
like this:
netbeans_jdkhome="/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-oracle"

sudo
isn't necessary to run NetBeans and thus shouldn't be used. – Kalle Richter Nov 18 '15 at 12:26
