type-annotations based on JDK 9?

[Alex Buckley]

Jon,

Am I right in saying that the changes that Werner identifies as being 
solely in type-annotations/langtools can be applied to jdk8u/langtools 
right now?

Or are we at the point when they have to go into jdk9/dev/langtools 
first, then be backported to jdk8u?

Werner,

I don't know your plans, but if you expect to be contributing to javac 
in the future, then becoming a Committer in JDK 8 Updates or JDK 9 would 
be the right thing to do.
