Hi,
not sure I understand your question correctly.
But if you are referring to the fact that jextract should *not* be part
of the JDK, please note that the FFM API does _not_ include jextract.
The jextract tool is instead made available in a standalone repository:
https://github.com/openjdk/jextract
For which binary snapshots are also provided here:
https://jdk.java.net/jextract/
(this change happened roughly an year ago [1]).
Cheers
Maurizio

Hi,
I'll raise this periodic (?) question for discussion, but first I want
to make it clear I have no opinion myself.
Here is the question in question:
Should jextract be extracted from the JDK? If so, would it make sense
to do it now rather than later?
I'm asking this because I remember this being presented as an open
question early in the introduction of project Panama. As time has
passed by, maybe we have learned something which could influence this
discussion?
There seems to be an increasing number of questions and concerns
related to jextract in OpenJDK, perhaps containing them in a separate
release cycle would do good?
Thanks,
Eirik.
