Understanding the Java Platform Module System

As of Java 9, modularity is built in to the Java platform…Finally! Yet few teams are using it. And in reality, you may never use it…at least not for a while. However by understanding the module system, you're guaranteed to see the Java platform in a completely different light. In this session, we explore the default module system, how it works on the Java platform, and what’s in the future for the Java Platform Module System.

We will demonstrate the impact that JPMS will have on our existing applications and identify what we must do to get ready for JPMS. You will also see firsthand how to use the JPMS and the benefits that support for modularity on the Java platform will have on your applications.
