Jigsaw is the modularity planned to be built into the JDK. It's purpose in life is to make the JRE modular. No other modules system, including OSGI, has the ability to do that because they simply can't work at a low enough level to make things work (such as JVM changes). However, nothing in the proposal prevents other modules systems from existing or from interoperating with Jigsaw. In fact, I fully expect to see lots of new module systems, designed to address different needs, built on top of Jigsaw. (Easy Maven integration would be nice, for example).
I have no comment on the IBM/HP/Oracle/Apple/McDonalds rumors. - J On Mar 25, 2009, at 10:29 AM, [email protected] wrote: > > http://neilbartlett.name/blog/2009/03/25/using-suns-jigsaw-may-get-you-fired/ > > jigsaw is core to Java 7 isn't it?
