Hi Jason/Tomaz,<br>
<br>
Early-access builds of JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw are available for
download at <a href="http://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw">jdk9.java.net/jigsaw</a>.
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<p>The EA builds contain the latest prototype implementation of <a
href="http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec">JSR 376</a>,
the Java Platform Module System, <br>
as well as that of the JDK-specific APIs and tools described in <a
href="http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261">JEP 261</a>.</p>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<p>If you'd like to try out the EA builds, by far the most helpful
things you can do are:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>Try to run existing applications, without change, on these
builds to see whether the module system, or the modularization
of the platform, breaks your code or identifies code that
depends upon JDK-internal APIs or other unspecified aspects of
the platform.</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Experiment with the module system itself, perhaps by
following the <a
href="http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/quick-start">quick
start guide</a>, and start thinking about how to migrate
existing libraries and application components to modules. We
hope to publish some specific migration tips shortly.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>Please send usage questions and experience reports to the <a
href="http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/jigsaw-dev">jigsaw-dev</a>
list. Specific suggestions about the design of the module system
should be sent to the JSR 376 Expert Group's <a
href="mailto:jpms-spec-comments@openjdk.java.net">comments list</a>.<br>
</p>
<p>For more information please seen Mark Reinhold's mail [1]<br>
</p>
<p>Rgds,Rory <br>
