Hi, I think Jan had an early prototype for using jigsaw modules as modules in NetNeans (similiar to the OSGI support) so we could skip creating wrapper modules...
I think this would be a good way forward. Maybe once NetBeans runs only on 9+ Java we can start about using Jigsaw infrastructure instead of home grown PrixyClassloader etc. Since Jigsaw modules do not declare lifecycle, versioning etc. they can never be and were never intended to be a replacement for OSGI, JBoss Modules or NetBeans Modules.
