Hi Alan, After discussing the matter with Mandy, we agreed that the next step to resolve this issue should be to remove the need for this functionality in OpenJ9.
My reply didn't reach the list because it was rejected (posting blocked for nonsubscribers). This has since been resolved. Thanks for your time. :) Best Regards Adam Farley From: Alan Bateman <alan.bate...@oracle.com> To: Adam Farley8 <adam.far...@uk.ibm.com> Cc: mandy chung <mandy.ch...@oracle.com>, jigsaw-dev@openjdk.java.net Date: 11/12/2017 15:27 Subject: Re: Proposal for New Functionality: Allow module-info merging in GenModuleInfoSource.java On 06/12/2017 18:51, mandy chung wrote: > Moving this to jigsaw-dev.... > > On 12/6/17 8:38 AM, Adam Farley8 wrote: >> Hi All, >> >> Currently, GenModuleInfoSource.java does not allow you to merge extra >> module-info files into the primary module-info file (for a given module) >> at build time. > > This tool intends to augment platform-specific > exports/opens/uses/provides but not requires.

If there is use-case where the implementation is so different that it needs `requires` in the .extra file then it can be done but the augmenting would need to be done before the build computes the ordering that the modules are compiled (the modules are compiled in reserve topological order as Mandy knows). -Alan Unless stated otherwise above: IBM United Kingdom Limited - Registered in England and Wales with number 741598.
