Can you send some example module-info.java & .extra files and source
location that shows what functionality you depend on?

Hi Mandy,
I don't believe anyone should need the "requires" to be different on
different platforms, however the logic in there can be used for
merging additional requires supplied by new components (like OpenJ9).
I'm exploring whether or not OpenJ9 can live without the extra
"requires" right now.
If it does, or if this feature is needed by someone else, I can't
think of a better place to keep this logic. Any thoughts?
Best Regards

Hi All,
Currently, GenModuleInfoSource.java does not allow you to merge extra
module-info files into the primary module-info file (for a given module)
at build time.
This tool intends to augment platform-specific
exports/opens/uses/provides but not requires. It was a design choice
we made that JDK modules are expected to have the same dependences for
all platforms.
Put simply; I think it should have this functionality. Can committers
please review and opine?
Can you explain why you want the module dependences be different on
different platform? Is it an option to add the requires
src/<module>/share/classes/module-info.java ?
The build generates the target dependences based on the requires from
module-info.java. At the moment it does not take
module-info.java.extra into account AFAIU.
