Will there be a "public API" way to run JSR199 of any JDK9 installation?

It is possible in JDK8 and before to run JSR199 compilations using a

Does this mean you can only use the JSR199 as provided by
ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler() of the current process in JDK9?

Keimpe,
While we know that some "friends of javac" have been using its internal
API, it would be good to know what specific internal features you have
been using, so that we can see if there are alternatives on the public
API, and maybe provide additional public API where appropriate.
You can run tools like jdeps to find what dependencies you have on any
internal API.
