Peter, if you are going to be making changes, then I strongly recommend using the git approach I described below to make a new branch based on the 2.9.0 tag. You may also need to perform the same procedure for GeoTools 15.0 if you need to make changes to GeoTools (GeoServer 2.9.0 includes GeoTools 15.0).
Do you need exactly 2.9.0 or can you use a later build from the 2.9.x branch? Kind regards, Ben.
