Well, I'd suggest to first get it to work without any tooling at all. I.e., forget NetBeans for the moment and use the command line to set up a simple Java 9 multi-release app that makes use of Log4J. Possibly the problem is with Log4J and that's what you can find out by creating such an application and for help you could join the Log4J mailing list. I.e., if something doesn't work outside NetBeans it won't work within NetBeans either.
