What will the interaction be between a .properties and patching? It would
make sense, I think, to allow a project to specify all the modules for
compiling source, but then allow overrides for compiling/executing tests.
If overrides aren't available, then overrides will have to be calculated
manually to generate another .properties file. This isn't a complaint; it's
just speaking the conclusion aloud for input.
I would assume javac -Xmodule and the -Xpatch support shouldn't be
impacted by this. The proposal just allows a properties file to be
specified as an alternative to a directory (java -mp
dir1:mymods.properties:dir2 ..) and so the patching/overriding should
continue to work. Or maybe you mean that -Xpatch should allow properties
to be specified in its value too?
