Early Access builds for JDK 9 b53 and JDK 8u60 b05 are available on java.net

Hi Mark & Gavin,

Early Access build for JDK 9 b53 <https://jdk9.java.net/download/> 
available on java.net, summary of  changes are listed here 
<http://www.java.net/download/jdk9/changes/jdk9-b53.html>

Early Access build for JDK 8u60 b05 <http://jdk8.java.net/download.html> 
is available on java.net, summary of changes are listed here. 
<http://www.java.net/download/jdk8u60/changes/jdk8u60-b05.html>

I'd also like to use this opportunity to point you to JEP 238: 
Multi-Version JAR Files [0],
which is currently a Candidate JEP for JDK 9.

It's goal is to extend the JAR file format to allow multiple, JDK 
release-specific versions of class
files to coexist in a single file. An additional goal is to backport the 
run-time changes to
JDK 8u60, thereby enabling JDK 8 to consume multi-version JARs. For a 
detailed discussion,
please see the corresponding thread on the core-libs-dev mailing list. [1]

Please keep in mind that a JEP in the Candidate state is merely an idea 
worthy of consideration
by JDK Release Projects and related efforts; there is no commitment that 
it will be delivered in
any particular release.

Comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome on the corelibs-dev 
mailing list. (If you
haven’t already subscribed to that list then please do so first, 
otherwise your message will be
discarded as spam.)

Rgds,Rory

Open a JIRA and I'll see what I can do.

Is anyone going to try installing these on the Jenkins machines? 

Given the changes in JDK9 it's probably best for people to install locally and get the builds & tests working before delegating to Jenkins
