Unfortunately OpenJDK 8 on CentOS/RedHat has some open issues with EC support for TLS (https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=9482). These issues makes it impossible to use strong ciphers with Jetty when running under OpenJDK 8. Because OpenJDK 6 and 7 are still supported by RedHat, wouldn't it be a good idea to keep supporting 9.2 only for bug fixes?
