Hello,

Is there a easy way to programmatically/automatic detect new JDK Early Access Releases
and download it ?

We perform automated SmokeTest with EA releases (JDK 8 and JDK 9).
At the moment, someone must manually check if a new EA release is available
and download it. We want to automate this.

And btw. the page "https://jdk9.java.net/download/" is bit out of date. It says:

"Web Start NPE Bug:
[..] is expected to be fixed in b115. "

The b115 release still crash with a NPE (JDK-8153736).

Thanks 

Best Regards
