JDK 9 release schedule

If no such objections are raised by 18:00 UTC next > Tuesday, 8 December, or if they're raised and satisfactorily answered, > then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal [8] this will be adopted as the > new schedule for JDK 9. Hearing no objections, I've recorded the new FC and GA dates on the JDK 9 Project page [1]. (The FC date has been rounded up to 2016/5/26 so that all milestones fall on Thursdays, as usual.) Here are the proposed dates for the interim milestones: (2016/05/26 Feature Complete) 2016/08/11 All Tests Run 2016/09/01 Rampdown Start 2016/10/20 Zero Bug Bounce 2016/12/01 Rampdown Phase 2 2017/01/26 Final Release Candidate (2017/03/23 General Availability) I didn't include the interim milestones in the initial proposal, so I'll leave them open for discussion under the same terms until 23:30 UTC next Wednesday, 16 December. - Mark [1] http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk9/
