Loading resource bundles across module boundaries

[Nicolai Parlog]

 Hi!

The ResourceBundle Javadoc[1] says:

> * Code in a named module that calls getBundle(String, Locale)
>   will locate resource bundles in the caller's module (caller module).
> * If resource bundles are deployed in named modules separate from the
>   caller module, those resource bundles need to be loaded from service
>   providers of ResourceBundleProvider.

I interpreted this to mean that, without registering services, named
modules can only load bundles from themselves. But in my experiments I
could also load resource bundles from other modules as long as the
package containing them was open.

Did I make a mistake? Did I misinterpret the Javadoc? Is that behavior
buggy?

 so long ... Nicolai
