Can you send out what our roadmap might look like so that we can
understand what needs to be done to get this into JDK 7?

Hi experts,
As we discussed in the EG, we would like to make JSR 277
interoperable with other module systems (e.g. OSGi, NetBeans, etc.).
We have been building prototypings to figure out how it should work
and to also validate the overall approach. Since there are many
module systems out there and they are all implemented very
differently (there are also multiple OSGi implementations), it
requires us to build more than a few prototypes and the whole
process takes time.
The good news is that we now have a prototype that allows JSR 277
modules to interoperate with OSGi bundles in certain degrees, and
another prototype that enables interoperation with Maven. I'm in the
process of sorting out the details with the development team so we
could have a strawman for this EG to discuss soon.
