Alan,
thank you for your pointer.
The code shown in [1] currently needs to access Java 9 features (to test
whether the module is
exported), which might not be a possibility for Java libraries that have a
baseline like Java 1.4
(the GA version of the Java bridge is at that level) or 1.6 (the current beta
version of the Java
bridge raises the baseline to 1.6, which depends on the deployed Java runtimes;
businesses hardly
update to a newer level for a proved and stable running application system,
where Java developers
love to be on the latest version).
Two features to be aware that can help with scenarios like this are:
JEP 238: Multi-Release JAR Files [1]
JEP 247: Compile for Older Platform Versions [2]
