Some points on JPMS/Jigsaw after he modularised some code (from Stephen Colebourne)

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi All,

Stephen's comments are in his blog post: http://blog.joda.org/2018/03/j
pms-negative-benefits.html

He does raise some interesting points.  Perhaps it's worth spending some
time before 11 is out to see if there is a combination of Maven and JPMS
changes / clarifications that can address some of these pain points.

If Stephen is missing something, then that's an area we could document
(and/or publicise better if already documented.  That is something I and
others can help to address through the usual JUG Leaders / Champions / Info
Q etc channels.

@Stephen are you able to share the source code?  It may be that there is
another
path that could be explored to mitigate some of the challenges you faced.

@Robert - I've been thinking about the difficulty of getting enough
engineering time for Maven committers to add support for major features
like JPMS.  I'll start a separate thread with you on that.

Cheers,
Martijn
