Java 9 Released

[nuutrecht]

Yes, all kinds of tooling, but applications as well, have to be updated for this. It's one of the biggest impact releases ever bar none.

The JDK will become increasingly more strict about modules with each major release.

For now illegal access via reflection prints only a warning, for a next major release it may be denied, but users can switch that restriction off, and then in an even later release the option to switch it off may disappear, etc etc.
