I'm pleased -- nay, thrilled! -- to announce that JDK 9 is now Generally Available. We've identified no P1 bugs since we promoted build 181 seven weeks ago so that is the official GA release, ready for production use. GPL'd binaries from Oracle are available here: http://jdk.java.net/9 (There are links on that page to Oracle's commercial binaries for those who are interested.) I'm sure that binaries from other implementors will be available in short order. The key feature of this release is, of course, Project Jigsaw, about which I've written a bit more over on my blog: https://mreinhold.org/blog/jigsaw-complete Jigsaw is not, however, the only feature! There are many other excellent additions and improvements including, but not limited to: Improved Process API http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/102 HTTP/2 Client (incubating) http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/110 Variable Handles http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/193 JShell Read-Eval-Print Loop http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/222 Javadoc Search http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/225 Linux/AArch64 Port http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/237 Marlin Graphics Renderer http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/265 Collection Factories http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/269 Enhanced Deprecation http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/277 Linux/s390x Port http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/294 Ahead-of-Time Compilation http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/295 The complete list of features is on the JDK 9 Project page: http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/ Thank you to everyone who contributed to JDK 9, whether directly or indirectly. It's been a long road, but it will have been worth it. This release lays a strong foundation for the future of Java. - Mark
