Early Access builds of JDK 9 b113 & JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw b113 (#4848) are available on java.net

Rory O'Donnell

Hi All,

Early Access b113 for JDK 9 is available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here .

Early Access b113 (#4664) for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw is available on java.net.
  • The important change in this build is that root modules when compiling code in the unnamed module, or when running and the main class is loaded from the class path, do not include the EE modules. More on this in JEP 261.
  • The other change in this build is that the -Xpatch option is now aligned with what we have documented in JEP 261, support for the old form has been removed.
We are very interested in hearing your experiences in testing any Early Access builds. Have you have begun testing against
JDK 9 and or JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw EA builds, have you uncovered showstopper issues that you would like to discuss?
We would really like to hear your findings so far, either reply to me or via the mailing lists [1], [2].

Rgds,Rory
