 <p>NetBeans 9 supports <a href="https://openjdk.org/projects/jigsaw/spec/">JPMS (Jigsaw)</a>.</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>Modulepath was added as a paradigm to NetBeans in addition to Classpath.</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>The standard NetBeans Java SE Project Type (Ant based) can be a single JDK 9 module simply by adding a <code>module-info.java</code> file into the default package.</p>

 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>We have added a new <strong>Java Modular project</strong> type. This allows to develop
 several JDK9 modules in one NetBeans project (Ant based).</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>The advantage of this project type over several Java SE projects (each
 containing one module) is that dependencies are simply managed by declaring
 appropriate <code>exports</code> and <code>requires</code> in <code>module-info.java</code>, and all modules
 in the project will be compiled at once.</p>

 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>Java Shell is a new tool included in JDK9 defined in <a href="https://openjdk.org/jeps/222">JEP 222</a> to introduce REPL
 (read-eval-print-loop) capabilities to Java.</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>NetBeans provides integrated console-like UI for the Java Shell, leveraing NetBeans editor capabilites.</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>NetBeans can support the tool with the user project configuration, so the Java
 Shell is set up to work with project classes and libraries, providing autocompletion out of the box in
 the editor.</p>
 </div>
 </div>

 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>Also NetBeans greatly extends the capabilities of the commandline tool.
 NetBeans can execute the shell <strong>as an agent</strong>, similar to a debugging agent, on the
 debugged or run application (currently only J2SE applications are supported,
 both Ant and Maven-based).</p>

 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>Snippets written in JShell can be redefined and tested, even against a running
 code.</p>
 </div>
 <div class="paragraph">
 <p>When the prototype is ready, it can be saved to a regular Java source file
 and integrated with the project.</p>

	</div>
	<div class="paragraph">
	<p>The advantage of this project type over several Java SE projects (each
	containing one module) is that dependencies are simply managed by declaring
	appropriate <code>exports</code> and <code>requires</code> in <code>module-info.java</code>, and all modules
	in the project will be compiled at once.</p>

	<p>Java Shell is a new tool included in JDK9 defined in <a href="https://openjdk.org/jeps/222">JEP 222</a> to introduce REPL

	</div>
	<div class="paragraph">
	<p>NetBeans provides integrated console-like UI for the Java Shell, leveraing NetBeans editor capabilites.</p>
	</div>
	<div class="paragraph">
	<p>NetBeans can support the tool with the user project configuration, so the Java
	Shell is set up to work with project classes and libraries, providing autocompletion out of the box in
	the editor.</p>

	</div>
	<div class="paragraph">
	<p>Also NetBeans greatly extends the capabilities of the commandline tool.
	NetBeans can execute the shell <strong>as an agent</strong>, similar to a debugging agent, on the
	debugged or run application (currently only J2SE applications are supported,
	both Ant and Maven-based).</p>
