That sounds like a fine plan. This issue has already gone on for long enough, and I don’t think that the crooks of the change should have to wait even longer.

Consider this issue Reviewed, provided that the changes in the webrev minus the 4 services files compile and test ok. Then you can push the services files once build support is added.

The resolver will build a service-use graph based on the provides/uses in the module descriptors and that will link the JNDI module to the providers. Pavel just needs a short term solution and having all the providers in one file is okay for that. A better short term solution is to just concatenate them in the build, we are already doing this in the jigsaw/m2 forest for the JDI connectors.
