Hi Vincent,
*JDK 9 Early Access* b159 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> is
available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here
<http://download.java.net/java/jdk9/changes/jdk-9+159.html>.
Can you confirm fix for : b158 - JDK-8173804 : javadoc throws
UnsupportedOperationException: should not happen
There have been a number of fixes to bugs reported by Open Source
projects since the last availability email :
* b159 - JDK-8175261 : Per-protocol cache setting not working for JAR
URLConnection
* b158 - JDK-8173028 : Incorrect processing of supplementary-plane
characters in text fields
* b158 - JDK-8172967 : [macosx] Exception while working with layout
for text containing unmappable character
* b157 - JDK-8174073 : NPE caused by @link reference to class
* b156 - JDK-8172726 : ForkJoin common pool retains a reference to the
thread context class loader
The following changeset is included in jdk-9+158:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk/rev/8b0d55e02f54
If you have a user-defined Policy implementation that grants
FilePermission on ${user.dir}/-, reading a file in the current directory
using its base name will fail. Still the same solution: Ensure that the
path used in permission granting has the same style as the one how you
access the file.
Setting -Djdk.security.filePermCompat=true will take you back to the
jdk-9+140 behavior.
Setting -Djdk.io.permissionsUseCanonicalPath=true will take you back to
the jdk8 behavior.
Feedback is welcome on jdk9-...@openjdk.java.net
