Modular Development with JDK 9

Alex Buckley, Editor, JLS/JVMS, Oracle
A modular development style benefits every Java developer, whether the application is one JAR or one hundred JARs. This session introduces the Java 9 module system that's been used to structure the JDK as dozens of reusable modules that strongly protect their internals. Then it explains how you can create modules to enforce the structure inherent in your application. It will prepare you for some of the pitfalls of modular development, notably the technical debt present in popular libraries that rely on JDK internals. Finally, the session looks at how tools are preparing for modules.
