Hi, POI is already fully working on Java 9 (at least according to our unit-tests at https://builds.apache.org/view/P/view/POI/job/POI-DSL-1.9/, and I once ran the full regression suite with some pre-release of Java 9 to check for additional problems.), there are some module-adjustment that are necessary during compilation/runtime, but this is to be expected with the Java 9 module system as far as I see.
Andi just tried to use more generics in some places and this showed a problem either in Java 9 or Java 6 and thus he reverted this change again. Dominik.
