The Module System speaks of the way the unnamed modules as in your case of loading the application from classpath constructs the module graph. Further, from the documentation itself:- When the compiler compiles code in the unnamed module, or the java launcher is invoked and the main class of the application is loaded from the … 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
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
Xalan I had a look at their bug tracker following their index page and wasn’t able to find this reported and not sure how actively is the library being maintained either. General Explanation Just to explain what has caused the issue in your code, I would share a screenshot and then try to add details … Read more
The exception is caused by the Java Platform Module System that was introduced in Java 9, particularly its implementation of strong encapsulation. It only allows access under certain conditions, the most prominent ones are: the type has to be public the owning package has to be exported The same limitations are true for reflection, which … Read more
The solution to this seems to be:- A way possible to uninterruptedly using the same artifact name with a new(different) module name could be by packaging META-INF/MANIFEST.MF of the artifact with an attribute Automatic-Module-Name which governs the name of the module to be used by the module descriptor when converted as an automatic module. OR … Read more
Apart from an understanding of the accesses amongst modules and their respective packages. I believe the crux of it lies in the Module System#Relaxed-strong-encapsulation and I would just cherry-pick the relevant parts of it to try and answer the question. What defines an illegal reflective access and what circumstances trigger the warning? To aid in … Read more
