Description Stephan Herrmann CLA 2017-08-27 17:13:13 EDT
The JDK 9 release notes document a number of changes in javac starting at
  http://jdk.java.net/9/release-notes#JDK-8030741

Ideally, we should check all items if they are relevant for ecj, too.

Targeted to M3 so we will soon be in a position to cut this into individual bugs for which effort can be estimated.

The link has moved here:

http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/9-relnotes-3622618.html

Glancing over the items, I can see we need a migration guide (bug 526038). Will take it up for M4.

Oops, should have stored the list, which I remember more conveniently structured than what I see now.

OTOH, here's a convenient list of tickets against javac 9 with label release-note=yes :)

At second look I found several tools/javac issues in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/9-notes-3745703.html
Comment 5 Stephan Herrmann CLA 2018-03-04 13:18:16 EST

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
