The short answer is that, yes, you’ll have to convert the libraries to explicit modules. The jlink tool is intended to provide a trimmed binary image that has only the required modules. The issue is that automatic modules have access to the classpath (aka the unnamed module) which can read all JDK modules. So nothing … Read more
The include directory is for header files, such as jni.h, that are needed when compiling C/C++ code that uses JNI and other native interfaces. It’s nothing to do with jlink. The jlink tool can create a run-time image for another platform (cross targeting). You need to download two JDKs to do this. One for the … Read more
The reason behind this is that meanwhile creating your own class, you had also accepted to create a default class as prescribed by your IDE and after writing your code in your own class, you are getting such an error. In order to eliminate this, go to the PROJECT folder → src → Default package. … Read more
Yes, this is possible with the –patch-module option. This option is most often used at runtime, but it also works at compile time: javac –patch-module <module name>=<path to jar> module-info.java
You can use your library as an automatic module. An automatic module is a module that doesn’t have a module descriptor (i.e. module-info.class). But what name do you need to specify to refer to an automatic module? The name of the automatic module is derived from the JAR name (unless this JAR contains an Automatic-Module-Name … Read more
The following code achieves module path scanning in Java 9+ (Jigsaw / JPMS). It finds all classes on the callstack, then for each class reference, calls classRef.getModule().getLayer().getConfiguration().modules(), which returns a a List<ResolvedModule>, rather than just a List<Module>. (ResolvedModule gives you access to the module resources, whereas Module does not.) Given a ResolvedModule reference for each … Read more
I first answer your actual question (“What is an automatic module?”), but I also explain what they are there for. It is hard to understand why automatic modules behave the way they do without that information. What is an automatic module? The module system creates a module from every JAR it finds on the module … Read more
Module Resolution The module resolution is a two-step process. The first step recursively enumerates the ‘requires’ directives of a set of root modules. If all the enumerated modules are observable, then the second step computes their readability graph. The readability graph embodies how modules depend on each other, which in turn controls access across module … Read more
The ideal way to resolve this would be to reporting this to the maintainers of org.python.core.PySystemState and asking them to fix such reflective access going forward. If the default mode permits illegal reflective access, however, then it’s essential to make that known so that people aren’t surprised when this is no longer the default mode … Read more
Am I using the new module system correctly? Yes. What you are seeing is intended behavior, and this is because JPMS modules do not allow split packages. In case you are not familiar with the term “split packages” it essentially means two members of the same package coming from two different modules. For example: com.foo.A … Read more
