JDK 9 on Ubuntu is very outdated
This discussion is public.
We are using JDK 8, 9 and 10 on your Ubuntu platform (thank you). 8 and 10 are working fine :-)
However, we are having problems with your JDK 9 as it is very out of date. In fact we cannot compile our code with it, because the version you have deployed has some differences which were changed when the first release of JDK 9 was made official. You can see our problem described in detail in the Eclipse project bugzilla here - https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=534801#c2
Is it possible to get an updated and official JDK 9 version on the Ubuntu platform please?

Unfortunatley this is the only version of JDK9 we could find today. Oracle discontinued support for JDK 9 http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk9-downlo...
Can you point us there we can download jdk-you-need from?

I am a little confused by your response.
You are offering Ubuntu Server 16.04.4 LTS as your Linux platform. Ubuntu provides an OpenJDK 9 package - openjdk-9-jdk - https://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/java/openjdk-9-jdk
Is that the OpenJDK you are providing?

I would also add that whilst the Oracle OpenJDK downloads for Java 9 have indeed been removed from the oracle.com page, they are archived and available intentionally still from java.net here - http://jdk.java.net/archive/

Oh, that Ubuntu package even older than one we provide ))
If you ok with jdk 9.0.4 from jdk.java.net then watch issue https://github.com/appveyor/ci/issues/2382
