More information: #230

In Java 9, all com.sun.* classes are inaccessible, and most of them are repackaged, including com.sun.javafx.*
Could you fix it? Even though I guess it is hard to rewrite JFoenix to support Java 9, which is a huge project.

[jfoenixadmin]

Hello,
Well, as mentioned in #230, in java 9 some classes have been refactored however they are still accessible.
this issue will break backward compatibility, thus there will be two different jars of JFoenix for Java 8/9.

Regards,

[huanghongxun]

Maybe it's unnecessary to make 2 different jars.
See http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/238

[jfoenixadmin]

Seems interesting!! will give it a look

Thanks,

[backtozero]

@jfoenixadmin Less than a week before Java9.
Please make new branch.

[TheTrio]

Is the jar for Java 9 made yet ?

[TheTrio]

Java 9 is now released

[jfoenixadmin]

Hello,
Will update JFoenix to be compatible with java 9 as soon as possible.
