Description
Now that support for mJRE has been withdrawn from JDK 9 (JEP 231: Remove Launch-Time JRE Version Selection; JDK-8050071), use of the older release's mJRE feature to launch a version 9 JRE should be considered.  It is likely that that the Release Notes for the older releases should be updated to indicate that mJRE can not be used to launch JREs for version 9 or later.
