When running Apache Netbeans for the first time under JDK9, users are presented with a tiny notification in the bottom right corner prompting them to install nb-javac. The notification disappears after 3 seconds.

It took me days to notice this notification, and then only after being told to look for it.

I suggest changing the UI so the user has to make an explicit decision to install nb-javac or not. A modal dialog comes to mind. Baring that, please make the notification display more prominently, and stay open much longer.
