Hi Jeff,

thank you for testing Jython with JDK 9.

Based on the description in the netty issue you linked to, it seems that 
this particular issue has been fixed in netty 4.1.8, which was released 
on January 30th, so my suggestion would be to consider upgrading netty 
in Jython to 4.1.8 or a more recent version. For the latest status, 
please see https://twitter.com/normanmaurer/status/846231880575979520 .

Regarding deprecation warnings during compilation, I'd suggest taking a 
look at JEP 277 in general : http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/277 and 
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8145468 in particular regarding 
deprecation of boxed primitive constructors. In addition, JDK 9 comes 
with a new tool called jdeprscan, as documented at 
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/tools/jdeprscan.htm#JSWOR-GUID-2B7588B0-92DB-4A88-88D4-24D183660A62 
, which can be informative to run over your or third party JAR files, in 
order to detect usage of deprecated APIs without having to rebuild the 
source code.
