Re: Plugin module development with daily build on JDK9

Hello Martin,

sorry, seems there's a problem with communication via Gmane.

After re-thinking about the problem, it seems Java 9 is used for syntax 
and dependency checking when running the dev build on JDK 9 (so it 
becomes the default VM) - could You please check this?

For NB modules: For which release is JDK 9 support planned for NB 
modules? I'd guess You need a tool then to replace the XML based 
dependency mechanism by modules-info.java (and fill this file with the 
correct dependencies).

Kind regards
Peter
