* Package name : libmoditect-java Version : 1.2.2. * URL : https://github.com/moditect/moditect * License : Apache License Version 2.0, Programming Lang: Java Description : Tooling for the Java Module System The ModiTect project aims at providing productivity tools for working with the Java module system ("Jigsaw"). . Currently the following tasks are supported: . * Generating module-info.java descriptors for given artifacts (Maven dependencies or local JAR files) * Adding module descriptors to your project's JAR as well as existing JAR files (dependencies) * Creating module runtime images . Compared to authoring module descriptors by hand, using ModiTect saves you work by defining dependence clauses based on your project's dependencies, describing exported and opened packages with patterns (instead of listing all packages separately), auto-detecting service usages and more. You also can use ModiTect to add a module descriptor to your project JAR while staying on Java 8 with your own build. Remark: I know that RFP bugs are not really promising. However, this package is needed to upgrade felix-framework to its current upstream version 7.0.5 (according bug in CC). So this bug will give some hint to the Java team what needs to be done to upgrade felix-framework. Kind regards Andreas.
