So what happens is that such projects go to communities like WildFly

Please also ask them to the Quality Outreach effort, as well and send

care are lurking on this list hoping to see answers for issues which
have been raised already, but not many feel competent enough to join
the conversation directly (and this might be a good thing!).

If you're lurking on this list, are a lead developer on a popular open
source project, and aren't listed on
https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/quality/Quality+Outreach yet,
please get in touch with me to get listed there and start testing your
project with JDK 9 Early Access builds, letting us know about things
that don't work as they should.
interests of all such users. Not sure if you want us to organise a
storm of "+1" emails as I'm confident that reason will win over
spamming strategies and populism (or should I say "modern democracy").
I don't think that would be a productive use of anyone's resources.
I can't say what other OSGi frameworks are doing, but for example
testing Hibernate in OSGi requires Apache Karaf, which is stuck on
issues like:

Judging by http://markmail.org/message/6v3kiqabebwtuwpv they use the
endorsed standards mechanism to override non-endorsed classes. That's
not how the Java Endorsed Standards Override Mechanism
works - please see
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/standards/ for
details.
A large part of what we do initially within the Quality Outreach effort
is to help open source projects understand problems with their own code
and practices that can adversely affect their ability to migrate to new
JDK (update) releases as they start testing against JDK 9 and discover
one or more issues with their code.
