Karl Pauls commented on FELIX-5575:
-----------------------------------
Just to make it clear: FELIX-5329 made it so that we should export all
available java9 packages from the system bundle. The shortcoming there in
regard to java9 is twofold namely,
1) The uses constraints are taken from the java8 packages plus manually
compiled from the javadoc - ie., they might not be entirely correct (but they
should be or at least they are very very close).
2) In Java9, it will be possible to create a subset of the official packages
for a given application - hence, having one definition of available packages
will not be good enough anymore.
In other words, as far as the jdk packages export from the system bundle are
concerned, this issue would probably need to look into the new tools provided
with java9 and figure out how to best use them to compile what is actually
available and maybe calculate the use-constraints accordingly and at which
points this has to happen.
As Neil points out, there might be other questions this raises - this is just
describing where FELIX-5329 left off.
