OK, so with RC2 we should see tips for Java? Great.

And yes, of course it's the responsibility of the projects to contribute
tips, I was just not sure whether *any* project had tips ready of Photon
already (Code Recommenders doesn't, for example). Maybe it's worth
documenting progress (and prodding projects for support) in a way
similar to https://wiki.eclipse.org/Java_9_Readiness?

Good to know. I'll defer my judgement till RC3 then -- and continue
filing bug reports if I think something could be improved.

Best wishes,
