Hi Jérôme,
So far since Java 9 is not released yet, and the plans for the
module system are still going through the JSR approval process (see:
https://jaxenter.com/jigsaw-vote-java-9-interview-134091.html), I
haven't tried to address anything with Java 9 yet. I have run our own
large Pivot application with a very early release of Java 9 (without the
module system) and it worked fine. Do you have specifics of things that
don't work or you think need enhancement?
As far as browser support goes ..... That would be entirely on
Oracle's side. There is absolutely nothing we could do without Java
support for something other than the older browser plugin. But see here
that this will be deprecated in Java 9:
https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/jdk9_plugin.xml I have tested and
Java Web Start still works with Pivot, so that is one option we still
have.... Some browsers still work (Safari if you enable it, Firefox if
you jump through hoops, Internet Explorer (but not Edge)). Do you have
other specific questions?
Thanks,
~Roger

Hello Roger,
Thank you for that.
I would like to know if it is planned, on your side, to manage the
compatibility to java 9 on the one hand and the non-compatibility with
browsers in general on the other hand ?
Thank you.
Best Regards,
Jérôme Serré

*Subject:* Upcoming 2.0.5 release
Hi all,
I have pushed out the remaining issues assigned to me
for the 2.0.5 version, leaving only the code-signing issue for Sandro.
So, we’d like to start the process of getting 2.0.5 out the door.
There are many bug fixes in this release (including the show-stopper
Version parsing bug from Java 8u131…), so it will be good to have this
release done.
I have also been making a ton of changes for 2.1 to
support the Input Method Editors (for Far-Eastern language support)
for TextInput, TextArea, and TextPane, as well as a lot of internal
code improvements, including fixing the Nashorn scripting engine (Java
8) compatibility. So, this will be a good release as well, but
probably not ready for another few months.
Thanks,
