I've begun moving to JAVA 9. It seems there is an OSS JVM made available at http://download.java.net/java/GA/jdk9/9.0.1/binaries/openjdk-9.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz. I think of using that for bootstrapping, instead of hosting it on anduin. Or maybe just using anduin for a 32-bit machine, which is not provided. Thoughts?
