Will Java support classpath forever or there are plans to remove it?
Asking because if classpath would be removed some time in the future
such compromise (automatic modules) is just short term win affecting
many key design decisions.
I'm not aware of any proposal to drop the class path, it's just too
entrenched. Remember that we are retrofitting modules to a mature
platform and so migration, compatibility, and interoperability have to
be at the fore.
