Description Tomas Zezula 2015-06-03 16:24:49 UTC 
The jdk.xml's target -jdk-preinit does not correctly detect JDK version.
It uses <available> task with boot class path and disabled parent system class loader.
The problem is that JDK 9 has no boot class path. None of searched classes is found and all the properties have-jdk-* are false.
Comment 1 pgebauer 2015-08-05 11:53:06 UTC 
Where can I find more info about a successor of the boot class path in JDK 9? In other words where can I find a description of changes regarding the boot class path in JDK 9?
Comment 2 Tomas Zezula 2015-08-21 13:27:27 UTC 
Unfortunately it's no so easy. In the JDK 9 there is no boot class path. There is an image file (not jar) with zips. Currently there is no Ant task able to read it.
