NetBeans and JDK9

[Brian Doherty]

Are you running on linux? If so, try adding this to the command line:

-Djava.security.egd=file:/dev/./urandom

This prevents the JDK from using /dev/random, which is waiting for
'environmental noise' to seen the entropy pool used to generate
secure random numbers.
