Once I upgraded JDK to 9, I met the same issue.
My OS is Windows7.

Very late to the party, but here are two solutions:

1. Set this system property:
   -Djide.defaultStyle=1
2. Call this before creating any jide components:
   LookAndFeelFactory.installJideExtension(LookAndFeelFactory.EXTENSION_STYLE_VSNET);
