Java 9 Jigsaw modules - Changelog

Example demonstrating the resolution of modules across layers added

Migrated examples to Java 11.

Tested with Eclipse Temurin-11.0.27+6 (build 11.0.27+6)

Currently example_spring-hibernate is not working.

Eclipse 4.7.3a Oxygen.3a as of April 2018 has been tested, all start*.sh scripts have hence be renamed. Eclipse 4.7.1a Oxygen.1a should still work (despite the script name). Note that from 4.7.3a on, Eclipse is supposed to work with JDK10.

Eclipse 4.7.3 Oxygen.3 as of March 2018 has been tested, all start*.sh scripts have hence be renamed. Eclipse 4.7.1a Oxygen.1a should still work (despite the script name). Note that Eclipse only works with JDK9: Though Eclipse can be started with JDK10, one then sees compile errors when compiling the examples in Eclipse.

Migrated examples to Java 10 2018-03-20, Java™ SE Runtime Environment 18.3 (build 10+46)

Gradle needed an update to 4.6 as the JDK 10 class format could not be read with Gradle 4.2.1 (see also here).

Gradle scripts in example_gradle-project now also include a --info --stacktrace for more info and error output

Maven 3.7.0 compiler plugin used now in all maven projects

Refactoring of the maven test examples: New name is now example_maven-test-blackbox and example_maven-test-whitebox

Maven settings template file checked to all maven projects

Gradle build without the daemon

Gradle environment variable GRADLE_USER_HOME introduced, as $HOME is not handled correctly on cygwin systems

Refactoring of the example which shows that automatic modules can access the classpath, now in example_unnamed-module_access-from-automatic-module

All scripts' calls to java, javac, jar etc. now redirected STDERR to STDOUT to make sure that both standard and error output are printed in order (otherwise some exception output is printed very early and now below the call as expected)

Cleanup of Eclipse dependencies and Build paths whereever possible (not easy when e.g. a mixture of explicit modules and/or automatic modules and/or classpath code has to be built in Eclipse)

Cleanup of Eclipse launch files (and also renamed them not to have any whitespace in their .launch file name)

All kind of cleanup like better comments, a bit more separating whitespaces or separating lines in the output

Deleted example_requires-transitive_exports (obsolete as all of its contents is covered by example_requires_exports_requires-transitive_exports-to already)

example_unnamed-module-reflection-illegal-access is new, shows the usage of the "kill switch"

example_requires-static is new, shows the usage of the "requires static"

example_resources is fixed, now works as expected

Various other cleanups, refactorings, corrections all over the place

example_jerrymouse limits its apps to a whitelist and only uses them, if they work

All examples which can be used as an app in example_jerrymouse: Its modmain is now an "open module" (instead of "opens pkgmain")

--patch-module replaces -Xmodule for javac

Upgrade maven-compiler-plugin to 3.6.2

Adapted to new automatic module name algorithm

changes in API (java.lang.reflect.Module is now java.lang.Module, java.lang.reflect.Layer is now java.lang.ModuleLayer)

changes in API (Configuration.resolve instead of Configuration.resolveRequires)

no more java.compact1 profile available (was used in example_resolved-modules)

all javac calls now use -Xlint

note that compiler and launcher now show various warnings (not sure if this is because of b156 or because of "javac -Xlint")

no changes necessary, everything seems still to work as in b144

"opens" instead of "exports dynamic" and "weak modules"

"requires transitive" instead of "requires public"
