JPMS Module Path question

[Peter Kriens]

I agree with you that it is a useful document but I think it is very confusing that certain sections are now just wrong. A warning might help prevent confusion.

Kind regards,

It will be familiar to those that have been tracking the JSR and EA builds over the last 20 months or so. I've found it particularly useful as a document to point the maintainers of tools at when there are questions about the binary format of a module declaration. I can't speak for Alex but I believe that it will be hollowed out to be just the summary of the changes.
