The document discusses the evolution of the Java classpath and the introduction of the Jigsaw module system in Java 9, highlighting key concepts such as class loaders, dependencies, and modularization. It provides examples of command-line usage for classpaths and the new module system, emphasizing the shift from traditional classpath management to modular application development. The conclusion suggests that while the classpath is a foundational element, the module system represents the future of Java application architecture.
