The seminar explains all language features for using and defining modules, such as module descriptors and various directives such as exports , requires , opens , uses and provides . We will discuss the difference between named, unnamed and automatic modules and the role of the class path and the module path. We will learn about new tools such as jdeps , jlink and jmod and will explore countless new flags for compilation and execution such --add-modules , --add-exports , --patch-module , --illegal-access and many more. 

Beginning with Java 9 the community is encouraged to modularize all applications, libraries and frameworks in a transition phase that will take many years to come.  The JDK itself is already modular, i.e. its deployment structure is radically different in Java 9.  For instance, there is no rt.jar any more.  Plus, the version strings have changed.  Using the new encapsulation facilities, internal JDK packages have become inaccessible.  For projects that pushed Java to the limits the migration from Java 8 to Java 9 may be quite a challenge.  Typical issues are use of JDK internals, illegal reflective access to private parts, and split packages.

In this seminar we will address both migration issues and strategies for modularization.  Attendants have plenty of opportunity to practice and experiment during hands-on labs.
