Which keeps bringing me back to the question of, what exactly is the
win of jigsaw? A faster startup of the jvm? What else?
My assertion is that the only real near-term win of Jigsaw is a simple
module system that meets the needs of build-time and runtime modularity
for a good portion of the community -- all with a single system that is
well integrated into the language itself.
Today one must use both Maven and OSGi (or equivalents) to accomplish
this -- and neither is well integrated with the language.
What about modularizing the JVM? That's only important to allowing the
Java SE codebase to be more readily re-used in other environments -- and
/possibly/ will yield faster startup time (though a good refactoring
could likely do that by itself).
