Executable version

This is not a big deal, but I noticed that the Windows executable properties are old.

Right click on "netbeans64.exe" and select "Properties".  Then on the "Details" tab there are several items, some of which are out of date:

File Version: 9.0.0.0
Product Name: Netbeans IDE 9.0
Product Version 9.0.0.0

Since the code doesn’t really change, consider a utility to update the version resource in-place.
It might even be easy enough to do this directly with JNA and call the appropriate Windows APIs

I think the jpackage tool does something similar. https://jdk.java.net/jpackage/ <https://jdk.java.net/jpackage/>

Good catch! That .exe doesn't need to be compiled very often since it
doesn't change and there's not much it has to do.

So, we last compiled it for NetBeans 9 and will use it until it breaks :-)

Please open a JIRA issue if you want, but we'll have to wait for Jan
to recompile the .exe.
