Hi all,
Several Adopt members have gotten together to look at answering the
questions of what percentage of the most popular (TBD what most popular is)
projects on Maven central can:
1. Run on Java9+
2. Use Automatic-Module-Name
3. Use module-info.java
As a side effect we're also working with Sonatype to improve Maven
central's indexing to include searching for modules.
As a follow on to this the LJC will start a crowdfunding campaign to bring
any popular libraries that aren't Java 9+ compatible up to date and
possible look at applying at least an Automatic-Module-Name as a starting
point to modularity.
See the kickoff doc
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1rT9tWLdH0zPbQaZ6-eAJ5NKU6NI78ATcsXSWhLYhkw8/edit#>
for
details.
Cheers,
Martijn
