Defining open modules and packages

[Christian Frommeyer]

Hi,

I heard a lot about jigsaw at Devoxx Belgium this year and got curious what is in the new module system for us. I downloaded ea build 146 and started to experiment. So far it was mostly straight forward. But now I'm struggeling to get open modules (and packages) to work. I tried the syntax described here:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~mr/jigsaw/spec/lang-vm.html

This is also what was presented in various talks at Devoxx. However when trying to compile the module-info file I get this error:

Compiling... src/moduleopen/module-info.java:1: error: class, interface, or enum expected
open module moduleopen {
^
1 error

Unfortunately I wasn't able to find any documentation on a change in syntax. I only found this:

http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/doc/lang-vm.html

which seems to be a different version of the above. But I wasn't able to match what might be the right alternative for open here. Perhaps someone can clarify this and perhaps even help with some link to documentation on this.

Regards
Christian Frommeyer
