I have a working Tomcat instance running;
- Tomcat 9.0.10
- OpenJDK 10.0.2
I have a working Netbeans 8.2 project compiled on Library JDK1.8, This builds and deploys and runs on the above server fine.
I am now trying to move to Netbeans 9, so I have a that running on the OpenJDK 10.0.2 JDK. If I build the same project (still on Library JDK1.8), it builds and deploys fine. However, when it runs on the same server I get the following error;

(xxxx.xxx.xxx.TestServlet replaced for real Servlet class)
It complaints about the first line of the Servlet which is actaully the "/*" of the template comment anyway.
I would have thought that which ever Netbeans I was using, if both were compiled again the same JDK1.8 JDK, both deployed WAR should be the same and both work. Netbeans 9 seems to be building something different and the error reported is not really much help.
Any clues?
