[hibernate-dev] JDK 9 EA Build 170 is available on jdk.java.net

Hi Sanne, *JDK 9 Early Access* build 170 is available at the new location : - jdk.java.net/9/ A summary of all the changes in this build are listed here <http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+170.html>;. Changes which were introduced since the last availability email that may be of interest : * b168 - JDK-8175814: Update default HttpClient protocol version and optional request version o related to JEP 110 : HTTP/2 Client. * b169 - JDK-8178380 : Module system implementation refresh (5/2017) o changes in command line options * b170 - JDK-8177153 : LambdaMetafactory has default constructorIncompatible change, o release note: JDK-8180035 *New Proposal - Mark Reinhold has asked for comments on the jigsaw-dev mailing list *[1] * Proposal: Allow illegal reflective access by default in JDK 9 In short, the existing "big kill switch" of the `--permit-illegal-access` option [1] will become the default behavior of the JDK 9 run-time system, though without as many warnings. The current behavior of JDK 9, in which illegal reflective-access operations from code on the class path are not permitted, will become the default in a future release. Nothing will change at compile time.
