Gilles commented on COMMONSSITE-103:
------------------------------------
bq. My understanding is that the JPMS as it exists in Java 9 was mainly meant
for initial use modularizing the Java platform, not necessarily application
code.
Unless I'm mistaken, JPMS is fully-fledged for creating modular libraries and
applications; defining "exports" and "requires" in "module-info" files, for
libraries that were modular in spirit, looks straightforward (see e.g. [the
little experiment which I've made for "Commons
RNG"|https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf?p=commons-rng.git;a=tree;f=commons-rng-examples/examples-jpms]).
However, Gary mentioned a
[problem|http://markmail.org/message/tdpjzfxz4lhccw7n], seemingly unsolvable
from our end.
> GSOC: Apache Commons bug bounty
> -------------------------------
>
> Key: COMMONSSITE-103
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COMMONSSITE-103
> Project: Commons All
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Stian Soiland-Reyes
> Priority: Major
> Labels: commons, gsoc2018, library
>
> [Apache Commons|https://commons.apache.org/] is a project that manage a
> series of independent Java libraries called
> [components|https://commons.apache.org/components.html].
> Some of the perhaps most well known components include
> [commons-io|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-io/],
> [commons-lang|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-lang/],
> [commons-collections|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-collections/]
> and [commons-cli|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-cli/]
> But did you know that Commons is also managing some more specialized
> components like
> [commons-crypto|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-crypto/],
> [commons-numbers|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-numbers/],
> [commons-rng|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-rng/] and
> [commons-rdf|https://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-rdf/] ?
> The potential GSOC student will propose an idea to work with one or more
> chosen Apache Commons components to churn through any outstanding Jira
> issues, update for Java 8/9, improve web site, documentation or testing.
> As the appropriate GSOC mentor will depend slightly on which Commons
> component the student is interested in, prospective students are encouraged
> to engage early by subscribing and posting to
> [dev@commons|https://lists.apache.org/[email protected]]
> using the subject tag [GSOC] and the commons component(s) they are intested
> in, e.g.
> {quote}
> To: [email protected]
> Subject: [GSOC] [Crypto] Potential GSOC idea
> Hi, I am Alice, student at Foo university, and I am interested in GSOC for
> Apache Commons, in particular Commons Crypto as I have been quite involved in
> cryptography protocols over the years together with my friend Bob.
> What could be a good chunk of work to get started with? Perhaps adding
> support for rot13?
