I am aware that the idea of project Jigsaw is encapsulation but for
scenarios like the above, it is often required to break module bondaries.
In general, I think that project Jigsaw solved this problem elegantly but
changing this single method's contract broke all 26 projects that I looked
into before giving this feedback. Note that I only changed runtime as this
contract change also affects "old" code running on a Java 9 VM as the JVM
classes are now contained in runtime modules where
This is #ClassFilesAsResources [1], or more generally
#ResourceEncapsulation [2], on the JSR issues list. In due course then
I'm sure Mark will bring a proposal to the jpms-spec-experts list on
these issues. We don't want to make any changes to the API or
implementation in this area before then.
