Hi Jason/Tomaz,<br>
<br>
Early Access build for JDK 9 <a
href="https://jdk9.java.net/download/">b53</a> available on
java.net, summary of changes are listed <a
href="http://www.java.net/download/jdk9/changes/jdk9-b53.html">here
</a><br>
<br>
Early Access build for JDK 8u60 <a
href="http://jdk8.java.net/download.html">b05</a> is available on
java.net, summary of changes are listed <a
href="http://www.java.net/download/jdk8u60/changes/jdk8u60-b05.html">here.</a><br>
<br>
I'd also like to use this opportunity to point you to JEP 238:
Multi-Version JAR Files [0], <br>
which is currently a Candidate JEP for JDK 9. <br>
<br>
It's goal is to extend the JAR file format to allow multiple, JDK
release-specific versions of class <br>
files to coexist in a single file. An additional goal is to backport
the run-time changes to <br>
JDK 8u60, thereby enabling JDK 8 to consume multi-version JARs. For
a detailed discussion, <br>
please see the corresponding thread on the core-libs-dev mailing
list. [1] <br>
<br>
Please keep in mind that a JEP in the Candidate state is merely an
idea worthy of consideration <br>
by JDK Release Projects and related efforts; there is no commitment
that it will be delivered in <br>
any particular release. <br>
<br>
Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the corelibs-dev
mailing list. (If you <br>
haven’t already subscribed to that list then please do so first,
otherwise your message will be <br>
discarded as spam.)<br>
<br>
Rgds,Rory<br>
