Build Failure

[Stephen Chin]

FYI, the build is not compiling currently due to a bad check-in:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/dio/dev/rev/0dc7ae392a2e <http://hg.openjdk.java.net/dio/dev/rev/0dc7ae392a2e>

The problem is in Platform.java:
@@ -60,9 +65,82 @@
         if (null == obj1 || null == obj2) {
             return false;
         }
-        if (obj1.getClass() != obj2.getClass()) {
-            return false;
+
+        try {
+            serialize(obj1).equals(serialize(obj2));
+        } catch (IOException e) {
+            return Objects.equals(obj1, obj2);
         }
-        return Objects.equals(obj1, obj2);
     }

I assume that it was intended the line inside the try block has a return preceding it...

So this is an easy fix, but what is the recommended advice for early adopters who want to use the Device I/O API in the community?  It doesn't look like there are any safe tags, branches, or any nightly builds.
