I'm running netbeans-jdk9branch-201506180405-javase-linux.sh and I
still get the same error.  It seems to hang for a very long time at
satartup, and then I get a dialog box with

"The package containing the class javax.swing.JComponentBeanInfo was
not loaded."

The stacktrace seems to be this:

org.netbeans.InvalidException: StandardModule:org.netbeans.modules.form.nb jarFile: /home/aph/netbeans-dev-jdk9-201506180405/java/modules/org-netbeans-modules-form-nb.jar: Dependency failed on package [javax.swing.JComponentBeanInfo]

Is there a more recent version of netbeans which works with current
JDK9?  I can build it myself if needs be.

Thanks,

Andrew.
