JEP proposed to target JDK 24: 494: Module Import Declarations (Second Preview)

[Mark Reinhold]

The following JEP is proposed to target JDK 24:

  494: Module Import Declarations (Second Preview)
       https://openjdk.org/jeps/494

  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.

Feedback on this proposal from JDK Project Committers and Reviewers [1]
is more than welcome, as are reasoned objections.  If no such objections
are raised by 20:00 UTC on Wednesday, 13 November, or if they’re raised
and then satisfactorily answered, then per the JEP 2.0 process proposal
[2] I’ll target this JEP to JDK 24.
