JITWatch in March/April Java magazine

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi Chris,

I think the strong advice for those using private APIs is to run the jdeps
tool to see where they are using APIs that will go away / be moved. I'd
then get them to post that list to jigsaw-dev, I guess the root cause of
some of these issues should also be logged in JBS and fixed :-).

Cheers,
Martijn
