Jigsaw/OSGi interoperability requirements

[David Bosschaert]

Hi all,

Neil has now asked this question twice on the jigsaw-dev mailing list.
I think this is an important question and should not be left
unanswered.

Mark R, could you please clarify?

Many thanks,

David

The kernel must be able to load Java modules directly and resolve them using its own resolver, except for core system modules. Core system modules can only be loaded using the module system’s reification API.”
