GATE relies on XStream for reading and writing application files (i.e. xgapp files). Unfortunately XStream doesn't currently support Java 9 which means we can't load/save applications, which makes it pretty much impossible to use GATE under Java 9. See x-stream/xstream#74 for more details.

Turns out that if you add the --permit-illegal-access flag to the Java command line then everything seems to work nicely. Only a temporary workaround as that flag won't exist forever, but once Java 9 is a stable release we can look at this again. More details are in this blog post http://gate4ugc.blogspot.co.uk/2017/06/gate-java-9-and-hdpi-monitors.html
