For our [email protected] subscribers, We (Paul and I) was approached by Oracle to participate in the community outreach program, which is seeking the wider Java community to assist Oracle in getting Java 9 in better shape before the GA Release.
Part of that is that we have a Jenkins build available for Java 9 builds (thanks Paul), and that they will notify our small community whenever a new Java 9 build is available. So, if you don't care much of Java 9, you can ignore these emails.
