[Cruisecontrol-devel] Project Jigsaw: The module system was integrated into JDK 9 and is now available for testing in early-access, build 111.

[Rory O'Donnell]

Hi Kent,

Project Jigsaw <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/> is an enormous
effort, encompassing six JEPs
<http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/#jeps> implemented by dozens of
engineers over many years.
So far we’ve defined a modular structure for the JDK (JEP 200
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/200>), reorganized the source code
according to that structure
(JEP 201 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/201>), and restructured the JDK
and JRE run-time images to support modules (JEP 220
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/220>). The last major component,
the module system itself (JSR 376
<http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/> and JEP 261
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261>), was integrated into JDK 9 earlier
this week and is now available for testing
in early-access build 111 - here. <http://jdk9.java.net/download>
