Hello there,
First of all, thanks for all the hard work, you already put into the
modularization of the JDK so far. Great job!
I started to look into the possible pitfalls in our code in order to
be converted into JDK 9 modules in the future. Besides that I’ve
already scanned our own libraries for usages of „unsafe“ code within
the JDK, I’m aware of the fact, that my own packages should not
contain the same packages twice (as referred as „split package“
problem). I wanted to know if there is already a kind of tool in the
JDK that could scan for those packages, in order to sort those out.
JDK does not have such a tool. I do have a simple tool to list
packages
and detect split packages for analysis. I can post it somewhere if you
want to use.
It would be great to get access to that.
If that would not already be the case I wonder if this would be an
enhancement that would be worth while opening a JEP for it. (Where I
would be prepared to help create)
I think JBS issue would suffice.
I just openend JDK-8166896 for that.
Last year Jon and I touched on the idea of having a class path analysis
tool [1][2]. It can find split packages (overlapping classes vs
partitioned classes).
