First batch of JEPs proposed to target JDK 9

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

The JDK 9 repositories have been open for bug fixes and small
enhancements for some time now.  Features for the release will be
proposed and tracked via the JEP Process [1] as amended by the JEP 2.0
proposal [2], which will shortly be folded into the main JEP process
document.

Here are the JEPs currently proposed to target JDK 9:

  102: Process API Updates                  http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/102
  143: Improve Contended Locking            http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/143
  197: Segmented Code Cache                 http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/197
  198: Light-Weight JSON API                http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/198
  199: Smart Java Compilation, Phase Two    http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/199
  201: Modular Source Code                  http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/201

These JEPs will be targeted to JDK 9 unless reasoned objections are
raised by 19:00 UTC next Monday, 18 August.

(This information is also available on the JDK 9 Project Page [3]).
