Don't we also need to modify jprt properties?
Which properties need changing David ? We should list them.
The strange thing here is that JPRT is already using JDK 8 (b132) as
bootstrap. That's how the CORBA build failures passed by me.
Yes, I changed JPRT a while back since we "should" already be using JDK
N-1 as boot. Changing configure to disallow JDK 7 is a different change.
I think the only thing that really held us back was JDK 8 being properly
released.

Thanks, I can't think of any reason either.
So how do we make this happen? Would a mail to jdk9-dev be
sufficient to alert folks about this change? Maybe the error from
configure when there isn't a JDK 8 available is sufficient?
