JEP proposed to target JDK 9 (2015/5/14)

[mark.reinhold at oracle.com]

The following JEP has been placed into the "Proposed to Target"
state by its owner after discussion and review:

  247: Compile for Older Platform Versions
       http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/247

Feedback on this proposal is more than welcome, as are reasoned
objections.  If no such objections are raised by 22:00 UTC next
Thursday, 21 May, 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.

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