Honestly this is not necessarily true. We don't know the details about the
development of jigsaw and let's recall that it has been starving for years
under the ownership of Sun. In the past two years a lot of things under
the Java sky have been improved, such as the roadmap itself that has been
unblocked. Furthermore, the first to suffer from the lack of jigsaw is
JavaFX 2.0, which Oracle is pushing.
I'd rather say jigsaw problems are technical-political: it's a hard task
and they don't want to consider other alternative technologies already
proven (such as Maven dependencies or OSGi), a position that was already
present at Sun. Now I know that Maven or OSGi aren't optimal for the task,
but at this point, with a perspective of waiting for several years before
the optimal solution, I'd like to have an objective evaluation of
suboptimal solutions that could be ready in a shorter time.
