saying "Here it is, it's all done, what do you think?". I've

to other JDKs)
That's not quite correct. The jdk.incubator.httpclient module is part of
Oracle JDK 9, as well. It has been part of the JDK 9 Early Access builds
since about a year ago, afaik. The Early Access builds can be found at
jdk.java.net, fwiw.
Sure, but that's all the same ecosystem. An organization tied to,
say, the IBM JDK won't have access to these.
Fwiw, IBM's OpenJ9 builds for JDK 9 would seem to include this incubator
module as well. I'd naively assume the same to be the case for Azul's
JDK 9 builds, etc.
This seems to be a more general criticism of the incubator module mechanism
as defined in JEP 11, rather than directed at this API specifically. It
wasn't raised on jdk-dev when JEP 11 was discussed about a year ago, fwiw.
Of course; sometimes a thing must be tried before the weaknesses are
apparent. If we all designed perfect things from the start, we
wouldn't need standards and evolution. :)
Touché -
The sample size of one for modules going through the incubation module
mechanism may still be too small for a categorical critique, though. ;)
