Hi guys, Opened https://bugs.java.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8193680 and it got closed - not fully sure what was missing - but I got the recommandation to contact that list on that topic.
The issue is simple: java 8 introduced ResourceBundleControlProvider which is really nice and allows to replace the resource bundle lookup for all the app transparently. Concretely in my case I get the translations from a rest service in one case or - as a fallback - from a specific folder on the filesystem. You will note that both are outside the application. I didn't find a way to migrate my application to named modules because there is no replacement for that feature in java 9 if you are outside unamed modules. The ResourceBundleProvider was looking like a good candidate but is too impacting and requires to modify the bundle itself. Any way to avoid functional regressions and migrate to java 9 named modules?
