sync up jigsaw/jigsaw?

[Chris Hegarty]

Alan,

I did a private sync up (a few months) of a later JDK8 to jigsaw, to see 
what the possible complications were. It never got pushed as you got 
there before me. I can try doing this in a private repo, see how far it 
get, and request help if it get stuck.
