JSR 398 (Java SE 23): JEP Proposed to Target: 476: Module Import Declarations (Preview)

[Iris Clark]

The following JEP with scope "SE" has been proposed to target JDK 23:

  476: Module Import Declarations (Preview)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/476

  Summary: Enhance the Java programming language with the ability to
  succinctly import all of the packages exported by a module.  This
  simplifies the reuse of modular libraries, but does not require the
  importing code to be in a module itself.  This is a preview language
  feature.

The announced deadline for feedback to jdk-dev is Wed 1 May 23:59 UTC:

    https://mail.openjdk.org/pipermail/jdk-dev/2024-April/008898.html

If there are no unresolved objections at that time, then the JEP will be moved
to the Targeted state, indicating that the feature is expected to appear in
the specified release of the JDK Project.  For more information about states,
see the JEP Process document:
