Java 9
- Tycho's dependencies have been updated where necessary to support running the build using Java 9
Compiler

- Compilation both using Java 9 as well as using Java 8 but compiling against Java 9 ( with useJDK=BREE) is supported now (bug 514471)

bug 342893), see release workflow docs - Added new goal mvn org.eclipse.tycho:tycho-versions-plugin:update-eclipse-metadata (bug 342893) which will update MANIFEST/feature.xml/product versions based on their respective pom versions.
