That would be good to see.
Personally, I think that ways to use modules in term good practice and
patterns, and also frameworks, in the java ecosystem will emerge but
anything we can do to reduce barriers seems like a good thing.
On Java9 generally:
The build itself doesn't work with Java9 because it needs updated versions
of some plugins, and those are inherited from the Apache parent POM. To
take over the version control and override the std settings just seems like
much work to get ahead by a short period of time.
I'm assuming we stay on java8 as the requirement for applications for a
while yet.
