m2 images and Freetype on Windows

[Ludovic HOCHET]

Both.
That is the netbeans_jdkhome in netbeans.conf points to m2/../images/jdk
and the platform of the created Maven project is the default platform
(ie the same path).
What's having immediate issues though is the later, as changing to a
platform pointing to a jdk9/jdk9 build clears those issues.
The platform manager shows no jars for jigsaw/m2 so if Netbeans does
its look up on those jars then it is 'normal' that it does not find
any classes.
I didn't mention but the Netbeans installer would not recognise the
image as valid.
