One of the remaining open issues in JEP 200 [1] is that the base module exports the jdk.net package, thereby violating Principle 4 of JEP 200: a Java SE module must not export any non-SE API packages without qualification.
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~chegar/8044773/ https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8044773 Summary: - The jdk.net package has been moved to the jdk.net module. The native code and implementation that provides support for extended socket options, currently just SO_FLOW_SLA, has been moved too. A private interface between the base module and the jdk.net module now supports registration and operation of extended options. - The native code has been simplified and cleaned up. - Test coverage has been updated to exercise socket options, both with the jdk.net module present, and absent. The use of the jdk.launcher.limitmods system property is temporary until jtreg with support for -limitmods is more widely available. - Thanks to Erik for helping with build support that now cooperates with the intention of the GenModuleInfoSource build tool, to support unqualified export additions from non-open code. -Chris.
