Modularization in Java 8 is finally on the sidelines


The envisaged under the project name "Jigsaw" modularization of Java, originally planned for Java 7 and recently developed in Java 8 will now finally moved to Java 9th As Mark Reinhold, the Oracle engineer responsible for major Java development, tells in his blog, were most of the members of the expert group for Java SE 8 (JSR 337). Excited for him shift Only the final and formal resolution to stand now pending.

Even so, in Java but the first steps are taken towards modularisation, about the proposed by Reinhold profiles for compact configurations in the Java SE platform, EXIST in the JEP 161 (Java Enhancement Proposal) as a specific proposal. Even in the JEP 162 (Prepare for Modularization) submitted proposals for changes in Java 8 could prepare the way for the modularization and lead to tools that developers can prepare their applications on it. Accordingly, the future could be leaking APIs identified as such and remove in Java 9 final.

As Reinhold writes that he regretted the postponement of Jigsaw, but see them as the best current option and now the path to take.
