Hi, I was trying to launch Apache Netbeans 9.0 beta on a windows 10 box with only jdk9 installed.
Executable is failing to retrieve a 1.8 or higher java because of important registry changes in jdk9 and also version scheme change [2]. I try to follow the wiki page [1] but the required old compiler are gone in cygwin. I also give a try to mingw32 toolchain. No luck :/ Question 1: Did someone have a working setup for building this ? Question 2: Would it be an option to move the windows c++ code to another git repository ? Setup a Jenkins or buildbot at Apache to build the executable in a consistent way.
