For some of the tools/libraries that you list then I assume the issues
aren't specific to the module system or other changes in the jigsaw/jake
forest. Instead I assume that at least some of the issues are due to the
restructuring of the JDK run-time image (JEP 220). We knew this would
be a disruptive change so this is one of the reasons it went into JDK 9
very early (in late 2014) and give the tools as much time as possible.
I see for Jython that you have an issue in their issue tracker for this.
Jayaprakash Arthanareeswaran has been on this list a few times and might
be able to say a few words about JDT. I've read several articles about
beta versions working with JDK 9 and it appears that good progress has
been made.
