No classes when adding JDK9 Platform to Netbeans

I am having problems adding the new JDK 9 Platform to Netbeans. Here are the steps I followed:

  1. I downloaded Java 9 from here: http://jdk.java.net/9/ and ran the installations.
  2. In Netbeans I went to Tools, then Java Platforms
  3. Clicked on Add Platform
  4. Selected Java Standard Edition
  5. When asked to choose the platform folder selected "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9"
  6. As Platform Source I selected "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9\lib\src.zip"
  7. And for Platform Javadoc I filled in "http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs.api"

Now I see that if I click on the new JDK 9 platform Sources and Javadoc seem correct, but classes are empty. When I set a project to use the new JDK9 platform I get a lot of exceptions along the lines of "Cannot find package java.lang".

Who can help? Thank you

Solution

  • Issue has been solved. The solution was to install Netbeans Daily Development Build instead of the Netbeans 8.2 that I use.
