Take part in Java technology evolution through the Java Community Process (JCP) program. You can participate in this session on your own as an individual, through your employer, or as part of a nonprofit such as a Java User Group (JUG). Currently there are new JSRs being submitted and developed for the Java EE 8 and Java SE 9 platforms. In this session we will be doing a hack day as part of the global Adopt OpenJDK program getting ready for the release of Java SE 9. We kicked off a testing program in November 2016 getting ready the release of Java 9 coming in July 2017. This is a hack day as part of the ongoing global adoption and outreach effort.

This is an all day hands on hack session covering the new modules system in Java 9, the JLink tool which allows you to create Java images with your application, and also how to migrate to the new Java 9 modular system with an older app. A laptop is required. Bring your project and run it on Java 9 EA with fellow JUG members! Download the latest EA build of JDK 9 to follow along: https://jdk9.java.net/download/.

Seats are limited!
