I haven't run Ant against all updates but just gave jdk9-b64 a try.
Our rmic tests using the -Xnew compiler still fail.
What is new is that Ant's bzip2 code is broken, I haven't investigated
the root cause, yet, but something must have changed. Ant fails to
decompress bzip2 files on jdk9-b64 and the code really isn't using much
beyond reading byte[] and performing bitwise operations.
The code is pretty complex and I can easily envision the JIT going to
work on it differently than it did in Java 8.
I'll run the unit tests of Commons Compress as I expect them to face the
same problem. But before that I'll need to figure out how to make its
Maven build work on 1.9 at all :-)
Cheers
Stefan
