Re: [bv-dev] Jigsaw module name

Hi, Java 9 is still in the works, so it's too early to put anything final into the BV spec, but should we add a recommended module name for API modules? My thinking is to have a short appendix stating: "Implementors that wish to provide the Bean Validation API in form of a Java 9 module, should use the module name "javax.validation". A mandatory module name will be defined in a future revision of this specification". A commonly agreed on module name is required by Jigsaw to ensure different API modules (e.g. the reference one and the one provided by Apache) are interchangeable. I expect further changes to the spec to support Java 9 down the road (e.g. to resolve message bundles in client modules and to provide a way for passing in a Lookup granting private access (see [1]), but it's nothing we can bake into the spec yet. Thoughts? --Gunnar [1] http://in.relation.to/2017/04/11/accessing-private-state-of- java-9-modules/ _______________________________________________ beanvalidation-dev mailing list beanvalidation-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/beanvalidation-dev
