Oh, I don't have a good feeling about this...

First, I am worried that instead of being able to just assume that "all of Java is there", there will be "no we just did a minimal install". Second, after watching the video briefly, we may already have tools for most of what this tries to solve (Maven, Spring boot, etc). Third, I suspect that there's some sort of nefarious scheme by Oracle to start charging for "premium" parts of JVM.

My initial feeling: it works just fine now, don't fix it. Or maybe I am wrong and it will be great.



I think accurate compile time checking of cross module class visibility is a very valuable new feature.


Oracle already charges for premium parts of Oracle JDK: Flight Recorder, resource management, application class data sharing


Nor Maven or Spring Boot is a module system. OSGi is.
