Loading resource bundles across module boundaries

[Nicolai Parlog]

Hi!

* Code in a named module that calls getBundle(String, Locale)
will locate resource bundles in the caller's module (caller module).
* If resource bundles are deployed in named modules separate from the
caller module, those resource bundles need to be loaded from service
providers of ResourceBundleProvider.

I interpreted this to mean that, without registering services, named
modules can only load bundles from themselves. But in my experiments I
could also load resource bundles from other modules as long as the
package containing them was open.

Did I make a mistake? Did I misinterpret the Javadoc? Is that behavior
buggy?

so long ... Nicolai

The behavior is correct but isn't clearly covered in the Java SE 9
javadoc. Mandy has improved the javadoc for Java SE 10 [1] so it's much
clearer and covers all the scenarios.

No matter what I do, there's always one document I didn't look at. :/

As usual, thank you very much!
