Early-access build b95 of JDK 9 is available for download

Hi All,

Early-access builds of JDK 9 with Project Verona in b95 are
available for download here https://jdk9.java.net/download

The goal of this Project is to implement the new JDK version string as
described in JEP-223. http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/223

The new version-string scheme is designed to easily distinguish major,
minor, and security-update releases..

Please send usage questions, feedback and experience reports to the
verona-dev mailing list: http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/verona-dev


Note: If you haven’t already subscribed to that mailing list then please
