Hi Romain,
I think there are 2 parts regarding modules: 1) using CXF from modularized
applications and 2) release/redesign CXF in a modular fashion (I mean Java 9
modules).
The 2nd part is where we are heading eventually but we won't be trully modular
till
all our dependencies are available as modules as well. The idea of adding
automatic module name is helping out with the 1st part. Regarding your questions
though:
1. Adding module-info.java would mean, at least, to branch the artifacts
(java9+ / java8).
2. Yes, I think it makes sense, this is the recommended way, but we should
better make a
proposal first (as part of the JIRA Dennis created).
3. I think this is the only way (as module-info.java won't compile with Java 8)
Automatic modules is a good start (arguably, for sure), because from the efforts
perspetive, it looks doable in a short time vs adding proper module-info.java
to
each module, which would take significantly more. Thoughts?
Best Regards,
Andriy Redko
RMB> Hi guys,
RMB> Few random notes/questions:
RMB> 1. Why not using https://github.com/moditect/moditect/blob/master/README.md

RMB> 2. For the naming it should really be someting like $group.$module IMO,
