I note in the testing section there was reference to early access builds.
Great and we'll work with Rory et al in QA to get that to the wider
community as soon as possible, but I'm still uncertain whether the time
frames will long enough to get projects to be ready for the change.
Just a brief comment on this question. We do hope to have EA builds
really soon with a first cut of what is in this JEP. Most of what is
proposed in the JEP is already in the jigsaw/m2 forest in early form so
if you build that forest then it allows for some early testing. At this
point in time then the only things for this JEP that aren't in the
jigsaw/m2 forest are the removal of the extension mechanism and the
"jrt" file system provider (there is "jimage" file system provider in
the current forest that has to evolve into the "jrt" file system
provider -- more on that item soon).
