I've refreshed the webrevs here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alanb/8142968/3
so that we have an up to date snapshot of what is currently in the
jigsaw/jake forest. The webrevs are against jdk-9+110.
Thank you to the many people that have been helping with the review and
addressing comments/issues quickly. Overall, I think we are converging
to the bits that we will push to jdk9/jdk9. As expected, there are a few
issues where some re-work is needed and those issues will be tracked in
JIRA to avoid destabilizing things now.
So at this point then I think we are on track to integrate into JDK 9
next week for jdk-9+111. If something serious comes up then we might
have to change that plan and go for the week after that, I hope not. I
sent a note to jdk9-dev last week [1] so that the wider project knows
what is coming. I will send another note later in the week once
confidence is higher about next week.
In terms of logistics then we have created jigsaw/m3 as a staging
forest. We used jigsaw/m1 to stage JEP 201 and jigsaw/m2 to stage JEP
220 so this is a similar deal except jigsaw/m3 has jcheck configured to
only accept change-sets that can be pushed to JDK 9. There will be
activity in this new staging forest for the next few weeks, the
notifications go to this mailing list so apologies for the spam.
