Hi Rory,
Thanks for the info! I’ve installed the b118 already on Jenkins and after some small change, we were able to test it. This change was required, because Apache Solr was using a class from the JAXB module (java.xml.bind), that is now disabled by default in the root modules. That’s all solved now by using a better class. See also the discussion on the OpenJDK-Jigsaw mailing list with Alan [1]!

Early Access b118 <https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> (#4913) for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw is available on java.net. JDK 9 Build 118 includes a refresh of the module system. There are several changes in this update, JDK 9 b118 has the updated policy for root modules described in JEP 261 [1]. This means that java.corba and the 6 EE modules aren't resolved by default and so it will look "as if" the types in these modules have been removed. More info on the JDK 9 dev mailing list [2]. A change that went into JDK 9 b102 is worth mentioning: JDK9: Remove stopThread RuntimePermission from the default java.policy In previous releases, untrusted code had the "stopThread" RuntimePermission granted by default. This permission allows untrusted code to call Thread.stop(), initiating an asynchronous ThreadDeath Error, on threads in the same thread group. Having a ThreadDeath Error thrown asynchronously is not something that trusted code should be expected to handle gracefully. The permission is no longer granted by default.
