We have left a few
issues for you to find,
investigate, solve, report
to us or the OpenJDK /
JDK9 team

6. Setup
Is everyone setup, and ready to go?

27. What is meant by Modularisation in Java 9?
JSR 376: Java Platform Module System played the primary role
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/

28. What is meant by Modularisation in Java 9?
JEPs that lead to all the new features in Java 9 (including
Jigsaw):
- 200: The Modular JDK
- 201: Modular Source Code
- 220: Modular Run-Time Images (depends on JEP 162)
- 260: Encapsulate Most Internal APIs (no dependencies)
- 261: Module System (dependens on JEP 220, related to JEP 238)
- 282: jlink: The Java Linker (replaces implementation of JEP 220)
- 275: Modular Java Application Packaging
- 222: jshell: The Java Shell (Read-Eval-Print Loop)
- 193: Variable Handles
- 110: HTTP 2 Client
- 238: Multi-Release JAR Files
- 158: Unified JVM Logging
- G1 related JEPs (3)
- JEPs related to a number of security improvements
- JEPs related to a number of platform improvements
- >>> Many, many more JEPs, see the Java 9 JEPs list for further details <<<

30. Why Modularisation in Java 9?
But, why?

31. It’s been worked on for about a decade:
- Encapsulation (hiding away what’s not intended or necessary for public use)
- JDK internal APIs (sun.misc.unsafe, security, etc…)
- Our APIs
- Decluttering of code bases (loose coupling & high cohesion)
- OpenJDK sources
- JDK sources
- Our Java App sources (post migration and refactoring)
- Customised runtime JDK (smaller footprint)
- Highly desirable for IoT, arduino/embedded devices, etc…
- Improve distribution and runtime performance
- OSGi has it, why not in native Java?
- Any more?
Why Modularisation in Java 9?

32. Not everything can be covered but let’s find out about these topics:
- open module
- open package
- named and unnamed modules
- difference between classpath and module path
- automatic module names
- kill switch (remove Jigsaw restrictions)
- a CLI flag passed to java: java --permit-illegal-access …
- Jlink CLI option: --launcher
- and many more topics...
So many things to cover!
