Thanks Alan.
Wouldn't it make sense to add all modules by default in Java 9 in case of
Webstart and print
a warning to the Webstart console the first time a future non-default module is
accessed
with the message that the JNLP must be extended with a --add-modules=moduleXY
in Java 10?
So all the Webstart app devs would get more time to adjust the JNLP to support
Java9/10.
The proposal in JSR 379 is java.xml.ws and the other modules that
overlap with EE be deprecated (forRemoval=true) so that we can drop them
from Java SE in a future release (hopefully 10 if the JSR for Java SE 10
agrees).
So I think Java Web Start is right to align with the policy for
applications launched on the command line.
