Hi Alan,
thanks for your reply. Yes testing is a good example, didn't have that
idea. So testing and services, then?
Yes, and for service providers then you might specify one or two to
--limit-modules when converging on the set of service provide modules to
explicit link into a run-time image.
:
Based on my observations that is not the case. At least the initial
module is _not_ used as a root module to determine the universe of
observable modules. This only works if bar is in foo's transitive closure:
java -p mods --lomit-modules foo -m bar
This limits the set of observable modules to `bar` plus the transitive
closure of `foo`. This will fail immediately if `bar` transitively
depends on a module that it's in the foo++ set. You might need to work
through a few examples to convince yourself of course.
