Hi All,
JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw Early Access
build b83 is available for
download at jdk9.java.net/jigsaw.
Notable changes:
- The -Xoverride option has been extended and renamed to
-Xpatch, and the -XaddReads option has been restored [1]
(changesets 04dd0430530e, 095fc622bf01).
- ClassLoader::getPackage now works as it did previously,
walking the class-loader hierarchy in order to find Package
objects, which enables NetBeans to start up [2] (5805781b9370).
- Class::getResource will now return a URL to a resource in a
module, when invoked from code within that module
(0fbe4c72638a).
- The big module-summary table has been improved, and will now
be posted with each build [3] (e922b207c170).
