Modular JARs as multi-release JARs

XMLWordPrintable


      This issue is created to track any investigation or work required to have modular JARs be multi-release JARs.

      Will multi-release JARs allow a module-info.class to be placed in META-INF/versions?

      Will the scanning of JAR files to get the set of packages ignore META-INF/versions? That is, can new packages be added in the versions tree.

        1.
        		 Add jar tool support for Multi-Release Modular JARs Sub-task Resolved Chris Hegarty

        		 Fail to create a MR modular JAR with a versioned entry of a concealed package Sub-task Resolved Steve Drach (Inactive)  
        6.
        		 jar tool can not build a modular multi-release jar with new public classes in concealed packages Sub-task Closed Steve Drach (Inactive)  
        7.
