Hello. With Java 9 due out in a few days time, I'm looking at moving all of my 60+ projects to Java 9. I have no intention of keeping support for any version of Java less than 9, so the projects will become pure Java 9 (modularized) projects.
I'm curious as whether Java 9 changes any of the conventions that I've been used to in Maven for the past five or so years. For example, one thing I see frequently in Java 9 tutorials is that they use a directory layout that differs from the Maven standard. For example, consider this tutorial: https://dzone.com/articles/java-9-tutorial-step-by-step-from-zero-to-modules The directory layout is "src/com.me.mymodule/module-info.java". This obviously doesn't match the "src/main/java" convention that Maven uses. Is the intention to map Maven modules 1:1 with Jigsaw modules? Or if not 1:1, then perhaps "no more than one Jigsaw module per Maven module". Is there documentation available anywhere that describes how new pure Java 9 (multi-module!) projects should be set up? -- Mark Raynsford | http://www.io7m.com
