Hi Guys,

Early Access build for JDK 9 b27  is available on java.net, summary of changes here

I'd also like to use this opportunity to point you to ongoing work in OpenJDK on Project Jigsaw.

    - JDK 9's source code is now modular: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk9-dev/2014-August/001220.html

    - Mark Reinhold's post providing some context is available on his blog: http://mreinhold.org/blog/jigsaw-phase-two

    - The first two Project Jigsaw JEPs have been posted at http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/200 & http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/201 .

You can also track the progress on the JEPs in the JDK Bug System now - the corresponding JBS issue for JEP 201 is https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8051619 , for example.

Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the jigsaw-dev mailing list. (If you haven’t already subscribed to that list then please do so first, otherwise your message will be discarded as spam.)
