Early Access build for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw b86
<
https://jdk9.java.net/jigsaw/> is available on
java.net.
Changes for JDK 9 with Project Jigsaw b86 : -
* New options for the jdeps tool: -genmoduleinfo to generate draft
module-info.java files, and -ct to do a compile-time analysis of
references (i.e., follow all references leaving all classes in each
referenced JAR file) rather than the default run-time analysis
(which only follows references leaving referenced classes).
* jlink no longer does service binding by default.
* Class::getPackage fixed to return null for array types, primitives,
and void (bug reported by Chris Newland).
* Improved messages in IllegalAccessExceptions thrown by core reflection.
* java -verbose now works with -Xpatch .
* The special token ALL-SYSTEM can be used with the -addmods option to
add all system modules.
* New methods Module::{addUses,canUse}, which are dynamic equivalents
of service-use clauses in module declarations.
Rgds, Rory
