Abstract
Java SE 9 was released on September 21, 2017. It’s the first major release of the Java platform since Java SE 8 was released on March 18, 2014. The Java community has been waiting for this release for quite a long time. The release of Java 9 was delayed several times. In this release, the Java Platform Module System (JPMS), or Project Jigsaw, introduces a module system to the Java platform. Now we can create modular Java applications using Java 9. The contents of Java SE 9 can be found in JSR 379: Java SE 9 Release Contents (https://www.jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=379). When I’m talking about Java 9 in this book, I’m referring to Java SE 9 and JDK 9.
