At the rate Java 9 keeps getting pushed back I don't think it's a viable option. JBoss Modules implements many of the same features as it pertains to our needs and works in Java 8 and 9. From what I recall from years back the spec for jigsaw was mostly lifted from JBoss Modules, so it won't be a hard task to transition to jigsaw after Java 10 roles out. ;) On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 5:35 PM William Markito Oliveira <mark...@apache.org> wrote:
