Demonstrates the features that will be available in Java 9.The links below take you to the demo in this project, the JEP responsible for introducing the feature, and to other sources if available.

This article list a lot of the upcoming changes:

• The Ultimate Guide to Java 9

Putting everything here will take a while, so you have to be patient.If you can't, check out theJDK 9 page and look through the JEPs.You can read more from me oncodefx.org and follow meon Twitter(and evenG+, I guess).

The scripts are written for Linux but should look similar on other operating systems.They do three need symlinks, though:

• java9 links tojava in the JDK 9 install
• javac9 links tojavac in the JDK 9 install
• jar9 links tojar in the JDK 9 install
