[INFO] Reactor Summary:

[Eddie Aftandilian]

Some background: Error Prone is a bug detection tool that we use inside Google, and we also release as open source.  It is built on top of javac, and we pin Error Prone to a particular version of javac because we depend on compiler internals.  We're currently using javac 9 from a revision from about 6 months ago.

We filed a bug for this a while back: https://code.google.com/p/projectlombok/issues/detail?id=757

To be clear: We don't expect Lombok to support an unreleased javac yet.  Though if someone wanted to do it, it would be nice for our users.
