Hi,
we / you should also consider, before dropping JDK8 as a runtime
platform, that applications that build ON TOP of NetBeans platform may
have a way conservative requirements than developers who strive to use
the bleeding technology edge.
The changes made in JDK9 (the module system, reflection restrictions
etc) are so disruptive that dropping JDK8 from platform (+ java)
clusters may disqualify NetBeans as an application platform of choice.
My 2 cents,

Also, I think before we discuss moving away from JDK 8 altogether, we
need to be 100% sure that the support for the later JDKs is really
perfect, i.e., that it really and actually completely works.
I thought that was the idea behind NB 9.0. Otherwise if NB 9.0 is just
more of Java 8 and does not fully support say 9/10, and 11 next month.
Not sure what the point of a 9.0 release
Because it supports working with JDK 9 and 10:

was rather than 8.3. Or even a
8.5, which is usually used for things between JDK versions.
Otherwise I do fully agree there is solid support for newer JDKs before
moving away from 8. Happy to help where I can!
