This was the response from a NB expert:
The best way I know (not really great though) is to run NetBeans with
this command line option:
-J-DCachingArchiveProvider.disableCtSym=true
That will disable the rt.jar->ct.sym mapping in the whole IDE, but (as
a consequence) will also disable enforcing of the compact profiles rules.

Thanks Jon, I just tried that and it does let it compile. I use NetBeans so I
included that in the project properties as a compiler option. Although it does
compile, NetBeans is still showing the imports as in error. Is there any easy
way to get Netbeans to do the same thing?
Thanks,
Raymond

I’ve installed Java 8 from the Oracle site onto my Mac which is running 10.9.2
Any of my apps which use the Apple Java Extensions come up with this error

I’ve had a look in rt.jar and the classes are listed in there. I even tried
building OpenJDK 8 from the source but get the same error.
Any idea what is going on or how I can fix it?

By default, javac does not read classes from rt.jar. It reads then from a
separate symbol file, which only contains standard API.
You might try disabling the mechanism with unsupported javac option
-XDignore.symbol.file=true and see if that fixes your issues.
