Hi Robert, there are currently two different module descriptor formats, the old one, that is readable by current JDK9 and the new one that is readable by the JDK9-jigsaw, and they are not compatible.
If you want to read the module descriptor of asm6-alpha, you need to use the jar from the JDK9 and not the JDK9-jigsaw. Obviouly, at some point, the new format will replace the old one, and we will release a new version of ASM6 compatible with the new format. I suppose it's time for me to at least update the trunk (yes, ASM still use SVN :( ) of ASM6 to be compatible with the new format, i've tried to not do that because i'm still not satisfied by the way the binary format (old or new) encodes the name of the current module. regards, Rémi ----- Mail original ----- > De: "Robert Scholte" <rfscho...@apache.org> > À: jigsaw-dev@openjdk.java.net > Envoyé: Jeudi 25 Août 2016 12:26:48 > Objet: Discover modulename > Hi, > > In an old thread I asked this before and got the following answer: > "One way is `jar --file foo.jar -p`.
