Exercises / examples
Please add as many exercises and examples to this repo, the master branch is the place to put your exercises that need to be solved. Or examples that have comments on what it is doing, or how to use a JDK9 features or how it has been used across the whole project. Have a look at how we have already created some of the exercises under the Session 3: Refactoring/migration sessions.
If you know of a feature or cool trick in JDK 9, then this is the place to put it.
Test your work under the respective platforms i.e. Linux, Mac and Windows, if not, please specify in your pull request which platforms need testing and what to do.
Try to always provide exercises / examples / solutions for all three platforms, otherwise please let us know the platforms which are not covered.
Ensure solutions to exercises are placed in the exercise-solutions branch. Typically examples can be (and should) be placed in both master and exercise-solutions branches.
We also have branches called ant-version, and maven-branch which is a near-literal translation of the exercises in the master branch into the respective build systems.
