Yes I see the error as well. But from #920707 I didn't get what function 
will be missing with the error.

The other option is to fix the nb-javac-9-(api|impl).jar. Starting the 
upstream version of netbeans results in the same error for nb-javac and 
let's you download ~/.netbeans/10.0/modules/ext/nb-javac-(api|impl).jar. 
Placing those in /usr/share/netbeans/java5/modules/ext (and renaming 
them), results in a working Netbeans for me as well. There are some 
classes missing in the Debian jars, do you know how to get them compiled 
in? (I can have a look what exactly tomorrow).

Cheers Jochen
