RSSOwl does NOT work with Java 9 #17

Hi,

Public Service Announcement

RSSOwl does NOT work with Java 9 @ http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

Attempting to run RSSOwl with only Java 9 installed... RSSOwl simply will not run.

The latest working build of Java that RSSOwl works with is:

Java 8 Update 144

Which you can still download from https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp#win

Thankfully, you can run Java 8 and Java 9 side by side, at least for now.

Take Care,

Will

Thank you! I've added the missing support notice about Java9 to the README.md file. Anyway, I recommend you don't use RSSOwl any more because of #7 and #8. I'll leave this bug report open in case someone steps up and takes over RSSOwl development.
