Running your program before recompiling

As indicated earlier in this chapter, there is a chance that your existing Java applications will run without modification on the Java 9 platform. So, before you make any changes, try running your current application on the Java 9 platform. If your application works fine on Java 9, that is great, but your work is not complete. Review the next three sections on updating third-party libraries and tools, compiling your application, and running jdeps on your code.
