See Josiah’s email and my response to him. > > Bearing in mind this library needs to support both classpath and module-path. Since we don’t yet have multi-module JARs, the question of how it would be used on the classpath is TBD. However, one possible approach is to treat a multi-module JAR on the classpath as if each module was in its own JAR, and all of them were placed on the classpath. — Ron
