Description

The most recent version in Jenkins is currently JDK 9 b156. It would be great if JDK 9 b179[1] was provided as it includes a number of important compatibility changes that make it easier for Apache Kafka to build with Java 9.

It may also make sense to delete some of the older JDK 9 builds to keep things more manageable, but I'll leave it to you to decide if it's the right time or not.
