JEPs proposed to target JDK 9 (2015/6/4)

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

The following JEPs have been placed into the "Proposed to Target"
state by their owners after discussion and review:

  256: BeanInfo Annotations
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/256

  257: Update JavaFX/Media to Newer Version of GStreamer
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/257

  258: HarfBuzz Font-Layout Engine
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/258

Feedback on these proposals is more than welcome, as are reasoned
objections.  If no such objections are raised by 21:00 UTC next
Thursday, 11 June, or if they're raised and then satisfactorily
answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [1] I'll target
these JEPs to JDK 9.

The discussion of JEP 248 (Make G1 the Default Garbage Collector)
continues, mainly on the hotspot-dev list [3].  Hopefully we can
wind that down soon.

(This information is also available on the JDK 9 Project Page [2]).
