I was happy to see that a resolution was reached for #AddExportsInManifest, but why did this stop at Add-Exports and Add-Opens? In order to cover all use cases (for unnamed modules), we would need two more manifest attributes:
# Equivalent to: --add-reads=java.base=ALL-UNNAMED --add-reads=java.sql=ALL-UNNAMED Add-Reads: java.base, java.sql # Equivalent to --add-modules=java.se.ee Add-Modules: java.se.ee Based on my experience with JPMS so far, manifest attributes are a much cleaner way of specifying the JPMS workaround options. Mainly because on older JDKs they are silently ignored so I don't have to add conditionally apply the new Java 9 args in my launch commands. - Andy
