Hi Erik,
In general, I think it is reasonable to update the boot JDK from JDK 8
GA. However, I think this would be reasonable to do across platforms
rather than just for Solaris.
It is only being done when running on M7 hardware, so a very small
subset of systems. Doing a general boot JDK update would seem an
out-of-scope project at this late stage of JDK 9. We don't know what new
bugs we might hit with a newer boot JDK.
Cheers,

The default bootjdk for 9 is JDK 8. Unfortunately JDK 8 does not work
on newer M7 sparc hardware. This has of course been fixed in an
update. This patch changes the Jib profile configuration to use 8u102
as bootjdk on Solaris sparc if the cpu is of the M7 type.

Looks good.
