Netbeans 8.2 with JDK9 BUILD160

I'm trying to add "JDK9 Build 160" as a platfrom in netbeans 8.2. After adding the platform, the class tab contains no platform classpaths. I tried many blogs and guides but gave no solution. Could someone help please?

Solution

  • The simple answer is that JDK 9 does not work with NetBeans 8.2. To use JDK 9 Early Access builds you will need one of the NetBeans daily development builds. Have a look at the wiki page that explains it in a lot more detail:

    http://wiki.netbeans.org/JDK9Support

    I've used the daily development builds and JDK 9 with no problems. With the development build the 'Classes' tab will display all of the platform modules included in JDK 9 as part of the JPMS.
