Hi, JDK-8213909 [1] (since JDK 12, backported into 11.0.11), aside from bringing great additions to transitive module analysis, introduced a slight change in output of jdeps:
jdk-11.0.11/bin/jdeps -s reactor-core-3.4.5.jar reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> jdk8internals reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> java.base reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> java.logging reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> not found jdk-11.0.10/bin/jdeps -s reactor-core-3.4.5.jar reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> JDK removed internal API reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> java.base reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> java.logging reactor-core-3.4.5.jar -> not found Note the difference "jdk8internals" vs "JDK removed internal API", not discussed in the relevant CSR [2] or the review thread [3]. This change is likely to affect some automation systems built around jdeps. Since the change has already landed, I wanted to check if there is a reason behind this naming change, and if "jdk8internals" should be the naming convention the users are expected to standardize their automation on going forward? I would assume most now are used to parsing for "JDK removed internal API" to determine if the project uses any removed APIs (and should probably be using --print-module-deps to feed jlink input), but I also see merit in having a single convention for mainline and CPU releases. -Aleksei [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8213909 [2] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8213915 [3] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/core-libs-dev/2018-November/056660.html
