Dear Jigsaw experts, Instead of loading modules through --module-path, I would like to discover them programmatically through other means. I can produce a Configuration and Layer for this. I would like to delegate the module finding to the parent too. In other words, I want the parent to be the Java runtime itself so that any pre-installed modules will be resolvable.
Under this pattern, I am hoping all modules execute like no additional Layer was introduced. I would like to know if there are any side-effects I should be aware of? It's also my understanding that doing a Layer is the only way to get access into the Module Descriptor of modules before they load. Can you confirm? Cheers, Paul
