When will Jigsaw be fully merged with the early access JDK 9?

[Paul Deitel]

Thanks Alan! So at this point, should I just move to testing with JDK 9 and ignore the separate jigsaw build?

Yeah, it can be confusing. The module system was merged into the main JDK 9 downloads about a year ago, it's also been refreshed several times. There are a number of open issues around the design so the Jigsaw EA builds will often a bit ahead with changes to support proposals and discussions on those issues. At this time there then are only a small number of changes that aren't in JDK 9. We will be bringing those changes into JDK 9 soon (using the process proposal for critical changes due JDK 9 rampdown).
