Hi, Andreas. This is Edward. What happens to Java Module JSR and what are you doing now?

Best,

Regarding Modules, the foundation is in place and others will continue the work. For JSR 294, there is a draft specification posted on jcp.org. The question is how much to tweak it and in which direction. I also assume some implementation pieces will be posted on OpenJDK soon. JSR 277 is even further along. A first draft was made publicly available in late 2006 and a significantly revised specification was sent to the EG last spring. A pre-beta implementation that supports all the core dependency, versioning, module initialization, and class loading features has been available on OpenJDK since last June. I have no reason to believe that the work will not be completed in time for JDK 7. Andreas.
