Java 9 was released in September 2017. It supports HiDPI displays [1]. Most changes are detaled in the *Java Platform, Standard Edition Oracle JDK 9 Migration Guide* [2]. Switch to the new version scheme. > ### New Version-String Scheme ### > > JDK 9 provides a new simplified version-string format. If your code > relies on the version-string format to distinguish major, minor, > security, and patch update releases, then you may need to update it. > > The format of the new version-string is: > > $MAJOR.$MINOR.$SECURITY.$PATCH > > For example, under the old scheme, the Java 9u5 security release would > have the version string 1.9.0_5-b20. > > Under the new scheme, the short version of the same release is 9.0.1, > and the long version is 9.0.1+20. > > This change affects java -version and related system properties, such > as java.runtime.version, java.vm.version, java.specification.version, > and java.vm.specification.version. > > A simple Java API to parse, validate, and compare version strings has > been added. See java.lang.Runtime.Version. > > See Version String Format in Java Platform, Standard Edition > Installation Guide, and JEP 223: New Version-String Scheme. Additionally, JCE Jurisdiction Policy File default is now unlimited, meaning the installation can be removed from the bee file. > ### JCE Jurisdiction Policy File Default is Unlimited ### > > If your application previously required the Java Cryptography > Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files, then you > no longer need to download or install them. They are included in the > JDK and are activated by default. > > If your country or usage requires a more restrictive policy, the > limited Java cryptographic policy files are still available. > > If you have requirements that are not met by either of the policy > files provided by default, then you can customize these policy files > to meet your needs. > > See the `crypto.policy` Security property in the > `<java-home>/conf/security/java.security` file, or Cryptographic > Strength Configuration in the Java Platform, Standard Edition Security > Developer's Guide. > > You are advised to consult your export/import control counsel or > attorney to determine the exact requirements.
