Description

After using cordova build android
I get error
JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.1
Error: Requirements check failed for JDK 1.8 or greater

is the 9.01 not good ?
Should I install Java SE Development Kit 8u151 or Java SE Development Kit 8u152 ?

Finding out versions

You can quickly find out versions of platforms/plugins you're using by running:

cordova platform ls

should be replaced with cordova platform
