First batch of JEPs proposed to target JDK 9

The JDK 9 repositories have been open for bug fixes and small enhancements for some time now. Features for the release will be proposed and tracked via the JEP Process [1] as amended by the JEP 2.0 proposal [2], which will shortly be folded into the main JEP process document. Here are the JEPs currently proposed to target JDK 9: 102: Process API Updates http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/102 143: Improve Contended Locking http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/143 197: Segmented Code Cache http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/197 198: Light-Weight JSON API http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/198 199: Smart Java Compilation, Phase Two http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/199 201: Modular Source Code http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/201 These JEPs will be targeted to JDK 9 unless reasoned objections are raised by 19:00 UTC next Monday, 18 August.
