Hi Rory,
I finally had some time to update the JDK versions on our build server. I bumped up JDK 9 to build 40 yesterday. In general, the missing rt.jar is not causing problems for us. Only some bytecode checking tools or the optionally used Eclipse ECJ compiler for Javadocs cannot handle that. In the case of my own forbidden-apis checker, the problem is just that it cannot understand the new classpath format, so the deep bytecode checks are disabled and a warning is printed). Finally: The build does not break. But we have a problem with running tests, which is caused by some unrelated change in the Java FileSystem 2 API, please see this issue for a description: <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6169> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-6169 My question: What would be the right contact person and mailing list about this (NIO.2 Filesystem stuff)? Alan Bateman did the commit that breaks our Lucene index commit safety (this is really important to make sure that a commit on an Lucene/Solr/Elasticsearch index is correctly persisted to disk).

The main change in this build is that it includes the jrt: file-system provider, so it now implements all of the changes described in JEP 220. Please refer to Project Jigsaw's updated project pages [2] & [4] and Mark Reinhold's update [5] for further details. We are very interested in your experiences testing this build.
