I was trying to figure out some way to have 8 the default and still have 9 available for testing last night. Still working on it.
There is still more just related to figuring out modularity to look at. 
I am of course looking forward to using modularity at some point to significantly reduce the size of an embedded JRE for a OS X java application.
