That’s a good point about the deprecated JVM flags. Java 9 simply refuses to 
run when given MaxPermSize or java.ext.dirs (though it allows 
java.library.path). Speaking of Java 9, the VisAD/IDV/McV stack seems to work 
just fine—but we haven’t distributed the Java 9 builds to any users, so the 
sample size is just a few people.
