.
Early Access b123 (#5178) for
JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw is available on java.net.
The first EA build of Java SE 8u112 b01 is available on java.net
Notable changes since the last email
- in JDK 9 b119 the big change was moving the class file version
from 52.0 to 53.0, see [1] for more details.
- Update to JEP 261 : Module System - see email from Mark Reinhold
[2]
- The special ALL-DEFAULT module name, which represents the
default set of root modules for use with the -addmods option [3];
- A more thorough explanation of how the built-in class loaders
have changed, how built-in modules are assigned to each loader, and
how
these loaders work together to load classes [4]; and
- The reason why Java EE-related modules are no longer resolved
by default [5].
- There are various other minor corrections and clarifications,
as can be seen in the detailed diff [6].
