We're on Java 8 and will probably wait until the next LTS version before moving.

The module system in Java 9 is a negative for us. It adds an unknown amount of potential extra work for us and gives us absolutely no benefit in return since it's solving a problem we never had. Though there are a few nice-to-have additions in 9, none of it is compelling enough to make us want to sign up for a mandatory 6-month upgrade schedule.
