I'm discussing about official recommendation by project to select new build instead of old one. Project by project (ie: Lambda, Jigsaw) and globally JDK8. >> You mention new build system will became be default for JDK8 "real >> soon now", did there is any date or planning available ? > > > No firm date that I am aware of.

I track commit in build-infra and wondering how to use it : - packagers/builders should get up to date build-infra trunk and inject it in projects tree ? - packagers/builders up new build system available in projects and project team sync build-infra time to time ? >> My targets are OSX, Linux and Windows in a near future, could I switch >> today to new build systems for them ? > > > I think Linux is fine.

For OSX, I'll do same for openjdk-osx-build but I encountered some problems in the past, so I'm a bit more prudent now. Cheers
