[Penrose-discuss] Questions about creating a simple module

[David Bosschaert]

Hi Tom,

Yes, I'm pretty sure its possible to deploy a modular jar that
contains META-INF/module-info.json (and no module-info.class). Shi Jun
is right in that the tooling support is not yet complete, but the
steps he posted should work. The penrose demos (in
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/penrose/penrose) are converted to use
META-INF/module-info.json, so they should show how you can use this in
a module jar.

The system tests [1] and [2] may also be of help to you... [1] shows a
basic module using JSON metadata, while [2] shows a simple module that
contains custom metadata in the JSON module definition.

Best regards,

David
