[epp-dev] Please test Java 9 support on the packages

[Wayne Beaton <wayne.beaton@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Package Maintainers:

Please make a point of testing the Java 9 support from Eclipse Marketplace with your packages.

https://marketplace.eclipse.org/content/java-9-support-beta-oxygen

First step: drag and drop the install icon from that page onto your workbench.

You don't necessarily need to actually test Java 9 features (though that would be handy), just minimally make sure that everything else that you would normally test doesn't break. I've tested it myself on a few packages and haven't managed to break anything yet. 

Note that you don't necessarily need to actually run on Java 9 to build Java 9 applications (though you do need to add a Java 9 JRE).

If you spot issues, or odd log entries, please report them directly to the JDT Team via Bugzilla.

Thanks,

Wayne
