Running and building with NetBeans: a plea for help

[Bradford Wetmore]

Andrew,

Just a reminder of a previous discussion in jdk10-dev:

     http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk10-dev/2017-June/000291.html

I haven't run a JDK 10 build in the last few weeks, but expect it should 
be the mostly the same.

Hope this helps.

Brad
