Since the modularization effort may take a significant time and one of the big features of Java 9 is modularization, why not leverage the infrastructure of the JDK [1] for that ? This would not only bring the modularization but also make it 100% compatible with Java 9.
It also provide solutions around class-loaders [2]. Food for thought... :) [1] http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/sotms/#defining-modules [2] http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/spec/sotms/#class-loaders On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 3:29 PM, Jared Stewart <jstew...@pivotal.io> wrote: > I have some questions about the ClassLoader isolation proposal.
