Re comment 2, I believe there are two bugs here, but this is the important one. People are seeing a crash accompanied by a warning about a Java 9 deprecation, and assuming they're connected, and thus are reporting the Java 9 deprecation (#1763091). However, the crash occurs even without the use of Java 9 (this bug), and in an identical way regardless of which version of Java is used.
It's not clear what the most useful way to track this in the bug tracker would be. Marking them as duplicates would probably not be technically correct, but might be most useful for end users (who are likely to see the two bugs at the same time). At the very least, there should be clear pointers back and forth. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760907 Title: Netbeans 8.1 crash in splash screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/netbeans/+bug/1760907/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
