Hello Markus,
it would be better to have a whole NetBeans log file instead of just the stack
trace. Then we could see classpath, list of enabled modules and may be deduce
more.

Best regards.

I think it's easy to reproduce. Just try to create a new Java project
with the Debian package. I believe this could be related to the removal
of langtools-9.zip in Debian. This is yet another file which is
downloaded at build-time. As far as I understand it, it is required to
build certain classes of Netbeans with the older OpenJDK 9 API. If I
include this file and remove the Debian specific langtools-9.patch I get
more compile errors later on. The build log is attached. It looks like
an error in src:libnb-platform18-java too. Netbeans depends on the
platform packages built by this source package.

Cheers Jochen

I had a look into this was able to create new projects when I remove the nb-javac.patch. @Markus do we really need it?
