Hi all,
In #AddExportsInManifest two new manifest entries are proposed. I can only find the
following email containing more details:

Is this still current? I'm trying this in an example, but it doesn't seem to
have any effect. Also, is the Add-Exports-Private replaced by Add-Opens?
The proposal only speaks about exporting to unnamed modules. Is it also
possible to export to other modules? E.g. 'Add-Exports: m/p=othermodule?
The attributes names are "Add-Exports" and "Add-Opens". JEP 261 needs a
big update and one of the things needed is to document these attributes
in the JEP (as they are JDK-specific attributes rather than attributes
for the JAR file spec).
As the attributes are for executable JAR files only then the effect is
to export or opens the packages to unnamed modules only (so no
`=<target-module>` in the value).
