Java Modules - are they common and should we use them?

• maven-jpackage-template

  40 326 0.0 Java

  Sample project illustrating building nice, small cross-platform JavaFX or Swing desktop apps with native installers while still using the standard Maven dependency system.

I kind of need this stuff to make it easier to build nice small jpackage installer packages. I have a workaround template project right now that works pretty well, but the user has to manually add modules. If I add a plugin that parsed the Maven dependency tree to find modules it would "just work" for module declarations without having to tweak the pom.xml.

• moditect-gradle-plugin

  1 10 0.0 Groovy

  A ModiTect plug-in for the Gradle build system

  

In this case, you probably will need to use https://github.com/moditect/moditect-gradle-plugin to add the module-info to the dependencies. While they are automatic modules you cannot make a module require an explicit library. Using the moditect plugin you can add the module-info to other jars and add the explicit requires.

• WorkOS

• layrry

github.com/moditect/layrry

• moditect

  10 529 7.8 Java

  Tooling for the Java Module System

  

You can use the https://github.com/moditect/moditect maven plugin to add the module-info to the third-party jars

• jtoolprovider-plugin

  5 39 0.0 Java

  This Maven Plugin does two things. First, it automatically transforms your Maven dependency graph into Java modules. Second, it bridges Maven and built-in Java tools like jdeps, jlink, and jpackage.

There are plugins coming along that help out, e.g. the moditect stuff and the jtoolprovider plugin I wrote (bridges Maven and jdeps/jlink/jpackage/etc).

• piranha

  21 188 8.9 Java

  Piranha - a modern cloud runtime (by piranhacloud)

  

I'm aware of the consequences. I have added module-info to our servlet container, https://github.com/piranhacloud/piranha/, and we use a lot of external dependencies. And most of them aren't modules but it works ;)
