Eric, I was aware of the work on open modules but have not read the papers you refer to. Perhaps I should. However I do not believe any new controls are necessary because Java in conjunction with a runtime modularity framework like OSGi already provides sufficient mechanisms. This is why I am working on AOSGi (http://www.eclipse.org/equinox/incubator/aspects/).
Oh, sounds interesting. I will have a look at it.

Well, that might be true but a lot of people would say that reflection is bad style for almost everything but a few distinct use cases, too. If you want to give static guarantees, it's just painful and that's what many people are worried about.
