Well, I read about this some time ago and was wondering how many people are really aware of the fact that no more security updates will be delivered 6 month after the release of a new version. Most people in our group are still working on Java 8, if not necessary probably nobody here will upgrade until the next LTS.
Is anybody of you using features from Java 9? The only things that I find interesting are some extended Stream functions like takeWhile, dropWhile, etc. Who is using the modularity feature?
