[Jython-dev] Project Jigsaw: The module system was integrated into JDK 9 and is now available for testing in early-access, build 111.

[Rory O'D. <ror...@or...>]

Hi Alan,

Project Jigsaw <http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/> is an enormous 
effort, encompassing six JEPs 
<http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/#jeps> implemented by dozens of 
engineers over many years.
So far we’ve defined a modular structure for the JDK (JEP 200 
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/200>), reorganized the source code 
according to that structure
(JEP 201 <http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/201>), and restructured the JDK 
and JRE run-time images to support modules (JEP 220 
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/220>). The last major component,
the module system itself (JSR 376 
<http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/> and JEP 261 
<http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/261>), was integrated into JDK 9 earlier 
this week and is now available for testing
in early-access build 111 - here. <http://jdk9.java.net/download>
