JDK 9 Early Access with Project Jigsaw build b36 is available on java.net

Hi Alan/Jim,

JDK 9 Early Access with Project Jigsaw build b36 is available on 
java.net [1]

The goal of Project Jigsaw [2] is to design and implement a standard 
module system for the Java SE Platform,
and to apply that system to the Platform itself and to the JDK.

As described in JEP 220 [3], this build provides a new runtime image 
structure. For example, this new runtime
image does not install an rt.jar file or a tools.jar file.

Please refer to Project Jigsaw's updated project pages [2] & [4] and 
Mark Reinhold's announcement email [5]
for further details.

We are very interested in your experiences testing this build. Comments, 
questions, and suggestions are
welcome on the jigsaw-dev mailing list or else submit bug reports via 
bugs.java.com.

Note: If you haven’t already subscribed to that mailing list then please 
do so first, otherwise
your message will be discarded as spam.
