java -modulepath

[Ben Evans]

Hi,

Completely agree with Tom.

On a related note, the LJC are in the early stages of organizing some hack
sessions on new JDK features - including Jigsaw and lambda.

If the developers involved in implementing the features discussed in this
thread could give us as good an idea as possible of when this featureset
would be ready then we can try to synchronize our efforts to try it out
accordingly.

We expect that our hack session participants will be a mix of experienced
end-user devs with a strong interest in modularity and in trying out real
world scenarios in Jigsaw - plus a core group who are comfortable with
OpenJDK and how to build it. That is, broadly working features with
potentially some known issues is probably what we're looking for.

Suggestions for how best to spend our efforts / maximize usefulness would
also be welcome.

Thanks,

Ben (on behalf of the LJC)
