Hi,
the modular [bach-demo-99] I generated to check my build tool
against, failed to create a custom runtime image using jlink
via itsToolProvider-based service entry-point.
The project consists of 100 module descriptors. No other Java
source files (for classes and interfaces) are part of that demo.
Each descriptor ball${i}n declares a "requires ball${j}n;" with j
set to a number from 0 to i-1 ... in words, all lower modules.
javac compiles this project with problems.
Arguments passed to jlink (as an array of string) reads:
jlink
--add-modules ball27n,ball43n,ball88n,[...],ball77n,ball93n
--module-path .bach\workspace\modules
--output .bach\workspace\image
--compress 2
--no-header-files
--no-man-pages
The error message reads:
jdk.internal.org.objectweb.asm.MethodTooLargeException: Method too large:
jdk/internal/module/SystemModules$all.moduleDescriptors
()[Ljava/lang/module/ModuleDescriptor;
Is there a limitation of supported modules that can be linked?
Is the module graph of this conceived project too far out of scope?
Shall I open an issue at JBS?
Cheers,
Christian
