Hi Laurent, Yes, we'll keep the system property (at least for JDK 9) that should support Class.forName usage. In the JDK I expect well just look for ductus by name then "pisces", all hard-coded, but the system property would be an over-ride.

It seems great and well enough.

Its just using the ServiceLoader to then locate the class that is causing extra work for jigsaw so we are removing it since its not a supported API. So you may need to make a small change but perhaps even nothing ...

No problem.

Depending on the merge process between marlin & pisces (total or partial), marlin may still evolve in future as an alternative renderer (more tuning options or specific features...)

For now to use marlin, I use the bootclasspath append option to load the marlin classes. Will it still work on jdk9 ?

With Jigsaw in JDK 9, the access control rules will be extended to support encapsulation and you won't be able to access the JDK internal APIs (which is orthogonal to JDK-8039975.

Mandy, could you explain me the new access control rule? Do you mean that marlin can not access to jdk internal api anymore (forbidden package accesses) ?
