Hi folks,

I have been struggling with the latest upstream release of Netbeans for
the last couple of weeks. I think I'm almost there now but I am at a
point where new error messages pop up which don't really make sense to me.

I have uploaded my current debian directory, the original tarball and
the build log to [1].

Maybe someone else can explain to me why Netbeans apparently requires
JDK 9 classes, although it is intended to work with JDK 8.

[1] ftp://46.182.19.245/netbeans/

I see error messages like the following ones.

Cheers
