Keeping Up With JDK 9

[Chris Newland]

Happy to promote this via JITWatch.

Making projects compatible with Java 9 is much easier now that the
non-Jigsaw builds have adopted the modular layout so there's only 1
flavour of Java 9 to deal with.

With Java 7 going EOL in April 2015, Java 9 doesn't feel so far away :)

Regards,

Chris
