Erik,

Why bother?  What are you trying to achieve? Either the boot JDK is JDK 9, or it is JDK 10.  This should be a clear decision. If internally at Oracle, we use 10, then as soon as code creeps in that relies on 10 features, we've broken the commitment to the community for allowing 9 as a boot JDK.

I have to agree. There can't be two bootJDK versions.

Instead I propose that for now, we just update the bootjdk used for building JDK 11 at Oracle to JDK 10 and let compatibility with JDK 9 be a best effort from the parts of the community that wants to support it.

Cross posting this to jdk-dev to raise awareness of this rather disruptive change. This patch changes the requirement on boot jdk version in configure (and updates the configuration that controls what JDK to use as boot in Oracle's internal build system).
