Looking ahead to JDK 9, a build 01 change that is needed is updating the JDKMINORVERSION setting in the build from "8" to "9": JDK-8000962 Update JDKMINORVERSION for JDK 9 https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8000962 I poked around a bit, but didn't see where this needs to be set. The value of this variable gets used in numerous places throughout the JDK, including in system properties. How can this be updating in the new build? That would be in common/autoconf/version-numbers Dave

An update, I've done a build after bumping up that value, but I ran into testing issue. It seems that the jtreg needs a minor update to allow for the successful running of TestNG tests after the minor version is incremented; I've contacted the jtreg team and a fix is in progress.

Thanks,
