Re: [infinispan-dev] All jars must go?

If it's just private packages, then we won't have to change the API ;) Personally I'm more worried about how our externalizers for JDK classes are going to work: it's going to be hard to say we support Java 9 and at the same time ask users to add a bunch of --add-opens [1] to their JVM arguments. I stopped updating the POM comment at some point, but most other requirements for access to private JDK fields seem to come from WildFly/Pax Exam.

I'm wondering whether Stephen's problems with all jars are truly founded since Java offers no publishing itself. I mean, for that Stephen mentions to appear, you'd have to at runtime have an all jar and then individual jars, in which case it would fail. But as long as Maven does not enforce this in their repos, I think it's fine. If Maven starts enforcing this in the jars that are stored in Maven repos then yeah, we have a big problem. >> >> Thoughts? >> >> Cheers, >> >> [1] http://blog.joda.org/2017/04/java-se-9-jpms-module-naming.html >> -- >> Galder Zamarreño >> Infinispan, Red Hat >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> infinispan-dev mailing list >> infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org >> https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev > > _______________________________________________ > infinispan-dev mailing list > infinispan-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/infinispan-dev
