------------------------------------------------------------

I think I've fixed the installer to be able to run with JDK 9, and install using JDK 9 too. Tested on Fedora24 using JDK 9 and 9.0.1 (but not 9-ea). 

Though 9-ea is probably not needed to be supported anymore, we should still ensure it works, I suppose?

I think I've fixed the installer to be able to run with JDK 9, and install using JDK 9 too. Tested on Fedora24 using JDK 9 (not 9.0.1, not 9-ea). We should verify it works for all three versions of the JDK 9, though EA is probably not needed to be supported anymore, and 9 was patched with a security fix to move up to 9.0.1.
