My build is build 9-ea+125-2016-07-08-164610.javare.5260.nc Currently I am writing a module that another team will consume. Let's just call these modules A and B. Module A must export its packages to Module B and B alone.
For reasons beyond my control, I do not have access to Module B. However, I don't need to consume any types from B or use B in anyway -- just need to give package visibility to B. So the compiler is stopping me because it says "error: module not found". Yes, the compiler is right... but it's too right. What do you think of loosening the compiler restriction here? I don't see a reason why the export target must be known at this point. PS: I don't know if the same thing is checked at runtime, but A should be able to be loaded without B, too. Cheers, Paul
