JDK 13 RFR of JDK-8221264: Refactor SourceVersion#latestSupported

[Martin Buchholz]

I'm confused about how an IDE would access the jdk(N+1) API inside a JDK(N).

Of course, the jdk build needs to use this API while bootstrapping the
JDK(N+1), but this seems to involve a lot of build magic and "interim"
modules, e.g. I see java.compiler.interim in my build tree.  But isn't that
all implementation detail of the build system?  Users can't simply take a
java.compiler module out of a JDK(N+1) and use it with a JDK(N) can they?
