Hmm, a bit dissapointing, I would have liked to see its support
continued. Small and compact jar files are still important for
distributed systems, although now we tend to maintain local mirror
repositories, it's a change we'll have to live with I guess.
How long before it will be removed completely?
We ran tests on Java 9 pre releases, but haven't migrated from Java 8 yet.
