![What? & Why?
• This is how the JDK now looks.
• On the bottom, we have the “java.base” module that every
other module implicitly or explicitly depends on.
• As you can see, this dependency graph is a DAG, which
means no circular dependencies allowed [at compile-time!].](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/java9-kntujug-171030213957/85/Java-9-JShell-and-Modularity-21-320.jpg)

Java 9, JShell, and Modularity
- 1. Java & Beyond Java 9 Mohammad Hossein Rimaz K. N. Toosi University of Technology KNTU Java User Group
- 2. Outline: •JShell •Modularity •Other Java 9 Features •Road Ahead
- 3. JShell
- 4. What? • JShell is a REPL (Read-Evaluate-Print Loop), a command line tool which allows developer to coding in java without building projects in IDEs or compiling and running their short code which is quite lengthy task • If you are familiar with interpreted language like Python or other JVM languages like Groovy or Scala the concept of JShell is familiar to you.
- 5. Why? • Good for new programmers and beginners • Good for testing language features
- 6. JShell Commands: • /list [all] • /vars, /methods, /classes • /edit • /reset • /set editor [notepad, gedit, …] • /imports • /exit • /env [add module, classpath, …] • /save, /open [mysession.jsh]
- 7. DEMO Web Scraping with JSOUP and JShell
- 8. Modularity
- 9. Outline: •What? & Why? •How? •Details •Transitive Dependency •Aggregator Module •Services •JDeps
- 10. What? & Why? • Java 9 was delayed so many times because of Project Jigsaw. • You might have been hearing a lot about modules, modularity, and other stuff. • What it’s all about? • What the heck is modularization and what do we mean by a modularized platform? • What's the Java Platform Module System (JPMS) all about? • Is it going to be a revolution in Java ecosystem?
- 11. What? & Why? • Maintainability is one of the most significant concerns in software design and evolution. • We want a code base that is loosely coupled, highly cohesive, extremely readable, and can be understandable at a glance. • We design our classes and organize them in packages. • When we have hundreds of packages, the dependencies between them are not visible at one look. • We need something more than packages to organize our code base to make it more maintainable.
- 12. What? & Why? • Another problem is the Java classpath and how it runs our codes. • All JAR classes and libraries are flattened into the classpath. When these JAR files have multiple version of a class on the runtime, the Java ClassLoader can load only one version of that class. In this way, there is ambiguity about how your program is going to work, and ambiguity is a bad thing. This issue is so frequent that you might know it as “JAR Hell.” • Inefficient, Insecure, and even Dangerous!
- 13. What? & Why? • Another problem with the classpath is that it doesn’t follow the “Fail First” principle. • You may have missing classes that exist in the classpath, but not in the production environment. Until you get the JavaClassDefError exception at runtime, you can’t be sure what is missing.
- 14. What? & Why? • Finally, the big issue with the classpath is encapsulation. Every class on the classpath has access to each other, and this is an encapsulation violation. • We want to hide our internal APIs, and that’s why we need another level of encapsulation (“Strong Encapsulation”) and control over the access to our classes in our packages.
- 15. Uses of JDK Internal APIs: Taken from: https://www.slideshare.net/haochenglee/prepare-for-jdk-9
- 16. Uses of JDK Internal APIs:
- 17. What? & Why? • Modules are going to fix these issues. • What is a module? A module has a name, it groups related code, and is self-contained. • A module describes explicitly what it needs from other modules and which part of it is visible to other modules.
- 18. What? & Why? • In this manner, dependencies between modules are crystal clear. • We have Strong Encapsulation, which means we can hide our internal APIs, and finally • We now follow the “Fail First” principle. Therefore, when there is a missing module or a conflict, you will get an error.
- 19. What? & Why? • Modularizing the JDK allows JDK developers to manage the huge complexity of it. • When you write a tiny and straightforward application that doesn’t use RMI, CORBA, Java EE, and other stuff, why do you need a full, huge, and heavy JRE? • Isn’t it wiser to have your runtime image only contain the modules you need? • Now with a modularized platform, it’s possible.

- 22. What? & Why?
- 23. What? & Why? Review •Strong Encapsulation. •Handling Complexity through Modularization. •Fail-First: No JAR HELL, No Conflict, No ClassDefFoundError Exception. •Custom Runtime Images, Smaller Footprint, Better Performance.
- 24. How? • The picture shows essentially what a module is. • Each module has a module descriptor called “module-info.java.”
- 25. How? • In the module-info.java file, you describe the name of your module, what it requires to work, and which packages are visible outside this module. • So in its simplest form, the module-info.java looks like this image:
- 26. How? Commands • java --list-modules List of JDK’s modules
- 27. How? Commands • java --describe-module Show module’s descriptor
