OSGi and multi-release jars
The issue with OSGi not supporting Java 9 has finally seen some movement. See the update at https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/issues/2227#issuecomment-370600204 <https://github.com/bndtools/bnd/issues/2227#issuecomment-370600204>. It seems support for multi-release jars has finally been added to the OSGi spec. A good explanation can be found in the OSGi blog at http://blog.osgi.org/2018/02/osgi-r7-highlights-java-9-support.html <http://blog.osgi.org/2018/02/osgi-r7-highlights-java-9-support.html>.
It remains to be seen how long it will take the various OSGi implementations to add this support.

Apache Felix (and Karaf by extension) and Eclipse Equinox are the two main
OSGi implementations in wide use. I wouldn't expect old Java EE servers to
be updated to the new OSGi spec (but maybe their Jakarta EE releases will),
though it's not like those servers support Java 9 anyways.
