[jdt-dev] Fw: [jgit-dev] JDK 9 Early Access with Project Jigsaw build b3

["Andrey Loskutov" <loskutov@xxxxxx>]

Hi,

Forwarding the mail to the jdt list, because I think this of interest for jdt too :-)

Especially interesting the part of http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/220 which states:

"Removed: rt.jar and tools.jar"
[...]
IDEs and other kinds of development tools require the ability to enumerate the class and resource files stored in a run-time image, and to read their contents. Today they often do this directly by opening and reading rt.jar and similar files. This will, of course, not be possible with a modular image.
[...]
New URI scheme for naming stored modules, classes, and resources
To address the above three problems we propose to define a new URL scheme, jrt, for naming the modules, classes, and resources stored in a run-time image without revealing the internal structure or format of the image."

Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov

> Hi Chris & Matthias,
> 
> JDK 9 Early Access with Project Jigsaw build b36 is available on 
> java.net [1]
> 
> The goal of Project Jigsaw [2] is to design and implement a standard 
> module system for the Java SE Platform,
> and to apply that system to the Platform itself and to the JDK.
> 
> As described in JEP 220 [3], this build provides a new runtime image 
> structure. For example, this new runtime
> image does not install an rt.jar file or a tools.jar file.
> 
> Please refer to Project Jigsaw's updated project pages [2] & [4] and 
> Mark Reinhold's announcement email [5]
> for further details.
> 
> We are very interested in your experiences testing this build. Comments,
