JDK 9 Outreach

[dalibor topic]

OK - let's collect some ideas about the options for a few more days and 
see what organization emerges. I have a few more JEPs to add that I got 
feedback on off-list (thanks, Michel!).

I also took the opportunity to relabel the "new features" section to 
"feedback on new features", adding the call to feedback on G1 from 
hotspot-dev at 
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-dev/2015-June/019221.html .

The rationale here is that this wiki page should not attempt to be a 
just hand-picked version of the JEP list at 
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ but instead try to serve two 
(partially overlapping) audiences - developers who want to know what 
they need to do in order to test their code with JDK 9 and check that it 
works as expected (like remove your permgen flags in startup scripts), 
which is what a large chunk of the content on it today covers, and 
developers who are excited about trying out the new features in 
development for JDK 9, and want to provide feedback (as solicited), for 
example on mailing lists, on specific features - so the current G1 
default switch call for feedback would fall into that section.

Thanks to everyone who provided feedback on the page so far, keep it coming!

cheers,
