I've built an amd64 copy of the latest openjdk17-1.17.0.6.10nb2
against the 2022Q4 branch (and adjusted the naming to be nb999 to
indicate).

https://sync.absd.org/amd64/openjdk17-1.17.0.6.10nb999.tgz

Make sure you pkgin update before installing :)

This should run allow running the latest intellij 2023 on netbsd-9
