Comments
Moving to tbd_major; this might be needed as part of JDK-8161704 in which case it will need to be pulled back in (or just folded into that issue).

Bumping priority to P3 since we will need this fixed for Jigsaw.

Copied the following comment by Anthony from RT-35197: "On a side note, our gradle script checks the minimum JDK_HOME version and requires it to be 8b115+. But the check is only performed after the SSEBackend.java compilation. Perhaps we should move the JDK version check a bit earlier. Also, I think it makes sense to require using 8 GA (b132) instead of b115 now. "
