I would suggest to not import setting from 8.2. Instead, start 9.0 fresh and empty, register the 8.2 update center, and then pick that specific formatter plugin and try to install it:
https://blogs.apache.org/netbeans/entry/what-s-happened-to-my After that, the errors you'll see will be specific to you having installed the plugin into 9.0. Then report that in the issue tracker ( https://github.com/markiewb/eclipsecodeformatter_for_netbeans/issues) and probably it could be resolved as easily as opening the sources of the formatter and compiling them in 9.0.
