Yeah, it does seem like it's missing a noun, doesn't it? Using "Java SE" could 
work, but I note that Mark R edited the JEP 385 text and changed the places 
where I had written "Java SE" to "the Java Platform", so I think I'll run with 
that wording.

Thanks for reviewing the CSR and the release note.
