FW: Early Access builds for JDK 9 b53 and JDK 8u60 b05 are available on java.net

[Steve Loughran]

Looking ahead to Java 9, here's where the builds are up for D/L

From: Rory O'Donnell

Subject: Early Access builds for JDK 9 b53 and JDK 8u60 b05 are available on 
java.net


Hi Andrew,

Early Access build for JDK 9 b53 available on 
java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 


Early Access build for JDK 8u60 b05 is 
available on java.net, summary of changes are listed 
here.

I'd also like to use this opportunity to point you to JEP 238: Multi-Version 
JAR Files [0],
which is currently a Candidate JEP for JDK 9.

It's goal is to extend the JAR file format to allow multiple, JDK 
release-specific versions of class
files to coexist in a single file. An additional goal is to backport the 
run-time changes to
JDK 8u60, thereby enabling JDK 8 to consume multi-version JARs. For a detailed 
discussion,
please see the corresponding thread on the core-libs-dev mailing list. [1]

Please keep in mind that a JEP in the Candidate state is merely an idea worthy 
of consideration
by JDK Release Projects and related efforts; there is no commitment that it 
will be delivered in
any particular release.

Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the corelibs-dev mailing 
list. (If you
haven't already subscribed to that list then please do so first, otherwise your 
message will be
discarded as spam.)

Rgds,Rory
