Hi Rory,

Great news and well done to all those involved!

I can confirm that JITWatch works with JDK9 (tested with the Oracle release today).

One piece of feedback: the following calls return null in JDK9:

Runtime.class.getPackage().getImplementationVendor();

Runtime.class.getPackage().getImplementationVersion();


Not sure if this is expected but they used to say "Oracle Corporation" and "1.8.0_144" under the Oracle JDK 8 update 144.


Cheers,


Chris
