Hi all, This week I was at Devoxx conférence where there were various talks about the incoming JDK 9 and the new Java Modules. If this is a subject that you are interested in and want to know more (and especially how it will break maven) I recommend you to watch the recording of the following sessions
Keynote by Mark Reinhold https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l1s7R85GF1A Introduction to Modular Development by Mark Reinhold/Alan Bateman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qr4O4SbzihQ Prepare for JDK 9! by Mark Reinhold/Alan Bateman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZfbRuvv5qc Modular Development with JDK 9 by Mark Reinhold/Alan Bateman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6ycn1-QQV0 Advanced Modular Development by Mark Reinhold/Alan Bateman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU1WFX8yeKM Project Jigsaw: Under the Hood by Mark Reinhold/Alan Bateman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKC0uC7QUkI Ask the JDK Architects https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7vvx505mu3s Form now all Devoxx sessions are freely available on Youtube at D+1 https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCBVCTuk6uJrN3iFV_3vurg As Jason is in the expert group I imagine that he already started to think about how to adapt maven to be able to easily consume/produce classical jar files and J9+ Java Modules.
