Just finished reading the new Jigsaw information. Great job! I do have a question regarding version conflicts (as I'm sure do many others). The document says Jigsaw leaves the version-selection problem to the build too, which fine. But to resolve transitive dependency version conflicts -- a --> b, c; b --> d@1; c --> d@2 -- the current solution is shading/shadowing (as d@1 and d@2 can be completely different from one another).
It seems like layers could provide a better solution, but as I understand, there is no way to statically describe a multi-layer configuration (I know I'm overloading the Jigsaw term "configuration" here) and pass it on to java at the command line -- only dynamically with reflection. Is that correct? If so, could it be possible to add another command line option as an alternative to -modulepath, that can take a file with a static description of layer configurations? Ron
