Jochen, technically, you do not need the jdk 9, you can compile with jdk 8 and have a jar that contains the declaration of methods of the jdk 9 you want.
and use -Xbootclasspath/p:path? yes, I guess we can do that. JDK-8177827 will get in the way, but that is minor. Too bad that is in the future no real option anymore because of JDK-8177844. But that will not affect us right now
JRuby had worked that way when it was jdk 6 compatible but optionally uses the java.lang.invoke API.
yeah, good idea ;) bye Jochen
