Hi,
I think the recent discussion about the agent loading mechanism do show
one fundamental problem that many have with the changes through the
restricted module system. That is, it is unclear what undesired usage of
the Java APIs actually is.
So let me write down an unfinished list as discussion base (jigsaw):
(1) usage of internal modules, classes, methods or fields
(2) transforming any of (1)
(3) non-public elements are not to be accessed if normal Java does not
allow for it
compared with my personal old list (javaSE):
* any sun.* classes
well.. my extended list actually was (library):
* any sun.* classes
* requiring agents
* requiring command line arguments
* requiring special configurations
And in my case, since I violate (1) in the jigsaw list, I get into
trouble with my old library list. Which means I am in the confusing
situation of having to do things now, that I considered bad before,
because of jigsaw.
Anyway... I am sure the jigsaw list above is something to be refined and
I would love to see people helping me with that.
bye Jochen
