Description

Ubuntu 17.10 and other versions provide a source package for OpenJDK 9 at `/usr/lib/jvm/java-9-openjdk-amd64/src.zip. When I want to add it as sources to the Java Platform which is created for the value passed as `--jdkhome` at start of NetBeans on the command line, nothing happens after selecting the zip in the file browser and clicking the "Add JAR/Folder" button. The source zip should be added or a comprehensive error message including the reason for the failure should be displayed in a dialog.
