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

This is TBD. We recognize the dependency on the bootclasspath.

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) ?

Right, the encapsulation will allow you to only access exported types.
For internal APIs (not exported), you can't access them as they are solely implementation-specific and not supported.
