The change to symlink handling in JDK 9 also affects the path that appears in the SourceFile attribute. This is closely related to https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8178017.
It's not clear this is an issue aside from the environment whereJDK-8178017 was originally discovered, but I wanted to confirm it's OK in the general case.
$ echo 'class Hello {}' > SOURCE
$ ln -s SOURCE Hello.java
JDK 8:
javac Hello.java && javap -v Hello |& grep 'Compiled from'
Compiled from "Hello.java"
JDK 9:
javac Hello.java && javap -v Hello |& grep 'Compiled from'
Compiled from "SOURCE"
