#1875 Mac OS X Support plugin exception with Java 9-ea+157
jEdit 5.3.0
Plugin: Mac OS X Support 1.3
Platform: macOS 10.12.3
Java version: 9-ea+157
Just wanted to give you a little headstart regarding Java 9 bugfixes.
Several exceptions are showing up during startup. Those are all related to com.apple.eawt being unavailable. Unfortunately, the implementation of those classes did also change so starting the JVM with --add-exports java.desktop/com.apple.eawt=ALL-UNNAMED option does not fix the problem.
I took the easy way out in my application and got rid of the special OS X handling for now. Starting with Java 9, such support should be handled by http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/java/awt/Desktop.html and http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/docs/api/java/awt/desktop/package-summary.html
I'm unaware of any way to support both Java 9 and Java >= 8 at the same time.

Similar exceptions are thrown for other setXyzHandler methods. There are also some NPEs but those seem to have the same root cause.
This should long be fixed already in the newer Mac OS Support 1.5 plugin, which will also be shipped with jEdit 5.7.0, but can also manually be installed through the plugin manager.
