Adopt Project Jigsaw @ Bulgarian JUG

[Ivan St. Ivanov]

Hi Alan,

Thanks for answering!

Yes, we've build the OpenJDK a lot of times now (some of the Adoption group
VM images were prepared by our JUG). And we are aware of what is going on
at the moment with JEP 200.

We will try to build the jigsaw/m2 forest and will get back to you.

Cheers,
Ivan
