Hi All, Stephen's comments are in his blog post: http://blog.joda.org/2018/03/j pms-negative-benefits.html
He does raise some interesting points. Perhaps it's worth spending some time before 11 is out to see if there is a combination of Maven and JPMS changes / clarifications that can address some of these pain points. If Stephen is missing something, then that's an area we could document (and/or publicise better if already documented. That is something I and others can help to address through the usual JUG Leaders / Champions / Info Q etc channels. @Stephen are you able to share the source code? It may be that there is another path that could be explored to mitigate some of the challenges you faced. @Robert - I've been thinking about the difficulty of getting enough engineering time for Maven committers to add support for major features like JPMS. I'll start a separate thread with you on that. Cheers, Martijn
