Hello,

JDK 9 EA changes in recent build 148 will require significant changes in 
NB daily builds. NB will not RUN for a while on top of JDK9 EA b 148. 
JDK 9 EA b 148 CANNOT be used as Java Platform for IDE Java SE 9 
projects. JDK9 EA build 148 introduced big changes as described in 
Refresh of module system coming to jdk9/dev soon. The fixing of this 
will take a time.

Also due to JDK bug JDK-8169435 NetBeans IDE failed to start on top of 
b143-b146. It is fixed since b147. If you want to run NB development 
build on top of JDK 9 EA then stay with b147. The same for using JDK9 EA 
as IDE project Java Platform.

IDE continues to run and work with JDK8.

Regards,
Martin
