[Rory O'D. <ror...@or...>]

Hi Alan,

Early Access b116 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> for JDK 9 is 
available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 
<http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+116.html>.

Early Access b115 <https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> (#4909) for JDK 9 with 
Project Jigsaw is available on java.net.

Recent changes:

  * in b114
      o Replace
        –com.apple.eawt
        –com.apple.eio
        With platform independent alternatives in java.awt
  * in b115
      o As per JEP 260, all non-Critical types/members should be moved
        out of
        sun/reflect and placed into a non-exported package. Only
        critical APIs
        should remain in sun.reflect.

We are very interested in hearing your experiences in testing any Early 
Access builds. Have you have begun testing against
JDK 9 and or JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw EA builds, have you uncovered 
showstopper issues that you would like to discuss?
We would really like to hear your findings so far, either reply to me or 
via the mailing lists [1], [2].

Rgds,Rory
