Hi,
I'd like to ask for a review of a patch that merges the -Xmodule:
functionality into --patch-module. After this patch, the input source
files are matched against modules patched with --patch-module, and are
compiled as-if they were part of the module they are patching. (In the
multi-module mode, patches for more than one module can be compiled, in
the single-module mode, patches for only one module can be compiled.)
Removal of the -Xmodule: option will need adjustments in several
repositories, as tests in multiple repositories are currently using
-Xmodule:, and also jtreg is using the option. The current patch hence
preserves the existing -Xmodule: functionality, although the option is
hidden and no longer announced in help. I think it would be good to push
the javac/langtools change proposed below, and then continue with other
repositories.
The langtools patch is here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8173777/langtools.00/
(note it also contains changes to jshell and javadoc).
Proposed jdk repository changes are here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8173777/jdk.00/
How does this look?
Any feedback is welcome.
Thanks,
Jan
