Yes, but then read the rest of the thread. You really must not rely on
the theoretical possibility of an XX flag that magically kicks all your
problems down the road a year or two. The best time to get all this
nailed correctly is now. That flag is not likely to be as extensive and
durable as everyone is imagining.

Did you read the reply from Phil in the other thread?
There will be a -XX flag in JDK 9 that jigsaw provides to aid in the transition.
So you will not have to maintain a JDK9 build but only start with this
thread to still access private APIs and this is something you can
clearly control if you install the JDK with your app!

Right. But I think that's going to be more and more common in future. If
you rely on people installing proprietary stuff like JWS or applets then
it's a bleak future, as the way forward is clearly bundled JREs.
patched != bundled. For us this would be quite a step back, having to
maintain our JDK patches/builds. Bundling itself is fine in our business
cases.
