Folks on jigsaw-dev will be aware that we are on yet another mission to
bring the changes accumulated in the jake forest to jdk9/dev. The plan
this time is to bring the changes to jdk9/dev to make jdk-9+150.
The changes in this update are mostly for JSR 376 issues
#VersionedDependences and #ModuleNameCharacters and so involve updates
to the binary form of the module declaration. There is also some small
changes left over from #IndirectQualifiedReflectiveAccess that we didn't
include in the last refresh.
This update has the implementation of Incubator Modules (JEP 11 [1]),
everything except the javac support. This was initially planned to push
to jdk9/dev but was re-routed to jake to avoid needing re-work when
merged with the changes in jake.
There is a bit of refactoring in the implementation in this update. We
expect to do more on than, plus lots of clean-up, once all the feature
work is out of way.
The webrevs with the changes for this update are here:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~alanb/8170987/1
They are currently based on jdk-9+148 and will be re-based for jdk9/dev
later this week.
One review note this time is to ignore the changes in ModuleBootstrap
for DEBUG_ADD_OPENS, that is the only change in this webrev that is not
proposed to move to jdk9/dev.
