I'd like to go forward with Joe's proposal [1], as informed by our discussion over the last two weeks. My thanks to Joe for driving the conversation.

To summarize, under http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9 we'll have:

jdk9 "Master" forest -- a time-delayed, stable version of "dev"

dev Default development forest -- replaces the current "tl" forest, integrates directly into the master

client Client development forest (AWT, 2D, Swing) -- integrates into "dev" after suitable manual testing

hotspot HotSpot development forest -- integrates into "dev"

There will also be HotSpot group forests (hotspot-{comp,emb,gc,rt}), at least for now.

We'll create these forests on Thursday as clones of the JDK 8 master forest, at tag jdk8-b120.

I will, as suggested, fold active HSX and Nashorn contributors into the appropriate JDK 9 Project roles.

To be specific: If you hold the Author, Committer, or Reviewer role in the JDK 8 Project [2], the HSX Project [3], the Nashorn Project [4], or some combination of these Projects, and you have contributed at least one changeset to JDK 8, either directly or indirectly, then in JDK 9 you will be granted the highest of the roles that you hold amongst those Projects.
