Can I use jdk.incubator.vector module alone

[陈书明]

Dear Panama team,
    I'm interesting in the jdk.incubator.vector module. I'm working on a deflator(the compress method of Zip) using vectorAPI.
    Now I have a JDK which contain the jdk.incubator.vector module. What I want to know about is that if I can use this module alone instead of the entire Panama JDK for development ? As we all know, it's not easy to make users install the whole JDK.


    So I tried these steps:
    1. I find the jdk.incubator.vector.jmod file in Panama JDK files and extract it, so I get its class files.
    2. I create a project in IDEA with openJDK14, and add these class files in step 1 to this project as exteral library.
    3. I add some test code and run it,and it works.


    I really would like to know if it's OK to do like this. Maybe there are some better ways I can use  to make vector API work on any other JDK instead of Panama?
    It's highly appreciated if you can give me some guide. Thanks!
