Yet another reason to consider package reorganization. -----Original Message----- From: Nick Burch [mailto:n...@apache.org] Sent: Friday, March 02, 2018 6:15 AM To: dev@poi.apache.org Subject: Single Java 9 module jar?
Hi All >From my understanding of Java 9 modules, you basically can't have one package >split across multiple jars. This is an issue for us, as we do split things >betwen core, scratchpad and ooxml, to permit people to minimise their jar >sizes by excluding components they don't want. Longer term, we could maybe look at having per-component jars. In the short term... I think if we just bundled the 3 jars together and dropped in a module info file, that'd fix things for Java 9 module users at the expense of them having to get all of POI (no exclusions). Build wise, it'd be really simple - just generate an extra jar with the contents of the 3 base jars included, along with the module info file, and call it something like poi-all-java9. What do people think of this idea? Any downsides? Comments? Suggestions? Also, would David North like to share his Java 9 module slides from his talk a few weeks back? :) Cheers Nick --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@poi.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@poi.apache.org
