[aspectj-dev] Early Access builds for JDK 8u72 b05 , JDK 9 b88 and JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw build b86 are available on java.net

Hi Andy,

Early Access build for JDK 8u72 b05 is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here.

Early Access build for JDK 9 b88 is available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here .

Early Access build for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw b86 is available on java.net.

Changes for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw b86 : -
  •  New options for the jdeps tool: -genmoduleinfo to generate draft module-info.java files, and -ct to do a compile-time analysis of references (i.e., follow all references leaving all classes in each referenced JAR file) rather than the default run-time analysis (which only follows references leaving referenced classes).
  •  jlink no longer does service binding by default.
  • Class::getPackage fixed to return null for array types, primitives, and void (bug reported by Chris Newland).
  • Improved messages in IllegalAccessExceptions thrown by core reflection.
  • java -verbose now works with -Xpatch . 
  • The special token ALL-SYSTEM can be used with the -addmods option to add all system modules. 
  • New methods Module::{addUses,canUse}, which are dynamic equivalents of service-use clauses in module declarations.
