Modules where not a mistake but we will likely benefit from it in say at least 5 years. Every artifact/library you use has to be a (real) module to be able to use it's full potential.
- jillesvangurp 7y agoI've yet to see a real world use that is meaningful. Mostly it just adds deployment bureaucracy for opting in to stuff that used to be there by default. I'm not seeing a huge adoption of modules outside of Java's core libraries. A good thing that came out of it was that it forced them to untangle the 2 decades old standard library. This was disruptive but it seems to have also unblocked a bit of progress and also allows the to have experimental modules in non lts releases (9,10,12,13).
