Hello Rory, I just tried updating our build of Hibernate Validator to b156 and I discovered this one: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8173604 . I was surprised to see the module renaming from java.annotations.common to java.xml.ws.annotation considering this module contains the @Generated annotation, which is pretty... mmmh... common and not really related to XML or webservices. I also fail to see how @PostConstruct, @PreDestroy or @Resource are related to XML or webservices in any way. By the way, I think it's going to be a breaking change for a lot of projects. See https://github.com/ops4j/org.ops4j.pax.exam2/blob/master/containers/pax-e... for instance. Could you explain us the rationale of this renaming? It's looks pretty far fetched from here. Thanks! -- Guillaume On Fri, Feb 3, 2017 at 10:16 PM, Rory O'Donnell <rory.odonnell(a)oracle.com <mailto:rory.odonnell@oracle.com>> wrote: Hi Sanne, *JDK 9 Early Access* b155 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/ <https://jdk9.java.net/download/>> is available on java.net <http://java.net> There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source projects since the last availability email : * b155 - JDK-8167273 : Calendar.getDisplayNames inconsistent with DateFormatSymbols * b154 - JDK-8157611 : field visiblePackages is null for the unnamed module producing NPE when accessed * b153 - JDK-8163449 : Allow per protocol setting for URLConnection defaultUseCaches * b152 - JDK-8172158 : Annotation processor not run with -source <= 8 Dalibor and I are presenting at FOSDEM this weekend, we would love to meet you there! * JDK 9 Outreach - The Awesome Parts <https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/outreach/ <https://fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/outreach/>> Rgds,Rory -- Rgds,Rory O'Donnell Quality Engineering Manager Oracle EMEA , Dublin, Ireland _______________________________________________ hibernate-dev mailing list hibernate-dev(a)lists.jboss.org <mailto:hibernate-dev@lists.jboss.org> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev <https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/hibernate-dev>
