Keeping Up With JDK 9

[Mani Sarkar]

Ben you mean something in the lines of
https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b25706f352556d5fefc80c7f234a88cfeef7f776/68747470733a2f2f6a6176612e6e65742f646f776e6c6f6164732f61646f70746f70656e6a646b2f636f6d7061742e737667

Except it says going to be Java 9 ready rather than what it says just now,
Java 8 compatible...

Our artists in Brazil did this one. ;), I guess changing the 8 to 9
shouldn't be hard.

@Chris - want to give it a try ?

Cheers,
Mani
