      Summary

      Change the default -source and -target value used by javac to 9.

      Problem

      As any new language feature are being implemented in JDK 9, the default source and target for javac should change to 9.  This is analogous to the source/target policy used in JDK 7 and JDK 8.

      Solution

      Change the defaults to source and target 9.

      Specification

      In the javac man page state the default source level is 9 and the default target is 9.
