Martin Malina commented on JBDS-4588:
-------------------------------------

I tried to run the current devstudio installer [1] with java 9 on mac and it works just fine for me. The only caveat is that in Step 4 you won't be able to just use "Default Java VM" because that would point to java 9 and that will give you an error that it's not supported. So you need to manually point the installer to a java 8 installation.

So if no issues are found by others, it's possible that no fixes will be necessary at all for now.
