    Tooling for the Java Module System

  • Yes, you are right. jlink does not work with automatic modules. But using that plugin https://github.com/moditect/moditect you can easily transform almost any java library into a named module. It is a shame there are libraries under development, that have not been adapted to the java modular system.

  • jib

    🏗 Build container images for your Java applications.

  • For docker images, try to use google's "jib" project to build your docker images, because it makes the best use of the docker layered file system. You can use a "Dockerfile", but basically you will be moving your libraries around every time because they won't get pushed to a "lower" layer in the layered file system. https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/jib

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
