JEP proposed to target JDK 10 (2017/11/28)

[Doug Simon]

Hi Lennart,

Even though it's not officially supported, it seems to work on macOS. With the latest macOS jdk 10 EA build (http://jdk.java.net/10/):

~$ java -version
java version "10-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 10-ea+34)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10-ea+34, mixed mode)

~$ java -XX:+UnlockExperimentalVMOptions -XX:+EnableJVMCI -XX:+TieredCompilation -XX:+UseJVMCICompiler -Djvmci.Compiler=graal -XX:+BootstrapJVMCI -Dgraal.PrintCompilation=true -version
Bootstrapping JVMCIHotSpotCompilation-146  Ljava/lang/String; hashCode  ()I  |  349ms    49B   288B 1240kB

We are planning to add support on other platforms in future releases. With current short Java release circle it should not be long time.
