Early snapshot of JSR 277 and 294 implementation

[Stanley M. Ho]

Hi experts and observers,

We have just made an early snapshot of the JSR 277 and 294
implementation available through the Modules project on openjdk:

    http://openjdk.java.net/projects/modules/

This snapshot basically covers the basic features described in the
updated specification in JSR 277, and the reflective APIs defined in JSR
294. You should expect the snapshot will be updated periodically going
forwards, as we continue to evolve the implementation and adding many
more functionalities in the next few months.

We will continue to focus our discussions in this EG mailing list for
the JSR 277 specification. For those of you interested in discussing the
implementation in the Modules project, we have made two discussion lists
available to the Java community:

* modules-dev at openjdk.java.net
Technical discussion about the implementation of the Modules project

* modules-discuss at openjdk.java.net
General discussion of the Modules project and how to use modules

If you are interested in discussing the Modules project with its
developers, or in discussing how to use JSR 277 and JSR 294, be a
subscriber today!
