module-info.class spec and attributes

[Eric Newcomer]

Maybe I can find out from our JCP EC rep (Credit Suisse). I also keep asking about Oracle's plans to support the OSGi APIs in WebLogic similar to JBoss and WebSphere but it seems like we keep getting a similar story - Jigsaw is going to be in Java 8 and that's how our modularity requirements will be met, using a different type of "kitchen utensil" better suited for the job. But I still don't think the original question has ever really been answered about why Jigsaw could not have started with OSGi. What you always seem to get are these "difference of opinion" replies and "we are going ahead with what we're doing in OpenJDK anyway."
