again failed whils recognizing a sub folder with non ascii characters. The world knows about more chars than the US uses ;-)
Since Java deals with Unicode, that shall be no problem!

NetBeans running on Java 9 crashes on non ASCII characters (here: German Umlaut) 
NetBeans running on Java 8 will perform well at this place.
NB issue? Or Java 9 issue?
Comment 4 muellermi 2017-03-20 22:27:25 UTC 
I encountered this problem using Java 9. Switching back to Java 8, everything worked as expected. Please check, whether this is a NB or Java problem. If it is a Java problem, please file a Java issue at jdk9.java.net. Thanks!
I have to close the browse window and can't proceed.
