The Java Sessions: Modules

The Java Module System. We probably ignored this technology long enough as users. It's time to get serious about the module system and understand the benefits of using the module system. Some of the questions we will answer are: why do we need the module system as users, what are the reasons for it, and what complications will arise.

This session we will cover how to get started with a module, how to deal with the module path, how paths are integrated into projects and jar files.  How do we deal with modules in build tools like Maven and Gradle? What is an unnamed module? What is an automatic module? What is JDeps and JLink?  How can we package Java in the small for more efficient containers?
