JDK 9 Outreach

[dalibor topic]

I did a few more updates.

Looking at the page now, I think Martijn's suggestions make a lot of 
sense - I'd pick out the following slightly renamed general categories:

* Added
* Changed
* Removed

and as a separate category

* Build

for things like removal of -source/target 1.5 and other changes that 
would affect source code and show up at build-time.

Comments?

cheers,
