Yes, you are correct that the current implementation doesn't update the classloader's mapping of package -> module. But I did a quick and dirty test/hack, calling addPackage on the Module, and then registering the package in the classloader. After that, Class.forName successfully loaded the class, it was defined in to the correct module, and it could access non-exported members of that module! /Michael
