After considering this email I wrote, I regret sending it and want to apologize
if I have overstepped any bounds.
I am not a member of the IPMC or associated in any formal way with Apache and
am certainly not in any position to make any judgments regarding code quality
or your wise choice to begin your search with such projects.
I'll back out of this conversation now and let others answer or redirect you to
other resources.

Regarding "Apache" = "Quality", I'd be careful. Apache asserts [1] a maxim
of "Community over code". While certainly a broad community inevitably leads
to better code, and Apache is a good starting point, given the specificity of
your request I might start there but not exclude other established projects
(not random code) which follow many of the same principles.
I do hope those on this list are aware of some projects they can recommend
to you!
As for the technical specifications, I'd also recommend you'd separate
those out as well. Some of your concerns seem to deal with native code access
which seems a separate issue than modular design of code. I have also been
looking around for good Panama/FMA examples and haven't seen anything
non-trivial yet. But even those can be done with/without the Java Module
System (JPMS).
Looking forward to any other replies with interest.

Daniel,
Thank you for your reply.
> Can you clarify what you mean by an "Apache Java project"?
I would prefer to examine a project that has a formal release process
and
an active community. So a TLP or incubating project would be great. In
this case I was equating "Apache" = "Quality" :)
I'm not so interested in random code on the Internet that just happens
to
be Apache licensed :)
Is there a particular use case you are interested in?
I am seriously looking at *redesigning* our JDK8 Library using Java
Modules
leveraging JDK16+/Panama/FMA and completely replacing the need for
Unsafe,
etc. (Not just adapting our JDK8 code to run on JDK9+ and accessing
Java
internals using JVM args.)
This is a major undertaking so being able to look at projects that have
already gone through that process would be helpful.
Thank you,
Lee.
