<b>Summary</b> Java's much-awaited "Project Jigsaw" is finally here! Java 11 includes a built-in modularity framework, and <i>The Java Module System</i> is your guide to discovering it. In this new book, you'll learn how the module system improves reliability and maintainability, and how it can be used to reduce tight coupling of system components. Foreword by Kevlin Henney. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. You'll find registration instructions inside the print book. <b>About the Technology</b> Packaging code into neat, well-defined units makes it easier to deliver safe and reliable applications. The Java Platform Module System is a language standard for creating these units. With modules, you can closely control how JARs interact and easily identify any missing dependencies at startup. This shift in design is so fundamental that starting with Java 9, all core Java APIs are distributed as modules, and libraries, frameworks, and applications will benefit from doing the same. <b>About the Book</b> <i>The Java Module System</i> is your in-depth guide to creating and using Java modules. With detailed examples and easy-to-understand diagrams, you'll learn the anatomy of a modular Java application. Along the way, you'll master best practices for designing with modules, debugging your modular app, and deploying to production. <b>What's inside</b> The anatomy of a modular Java app Building modules from source to JAR Migrating to modular Java Decoupling dependencies and refining APIs Handling reflection and versioning Customizing runtime images Updated for Java 11 <b>About the Reader</b> Perfect for developers with some Java experience. <b>About the Author</b> <b>Nicolai Parlog</b> is a developer, author, speaker, and trainer. His home is codefx.org. <b>Table of Contents</b> PART 1 - Hello, modules First piece of the puzzle Anatomy of a modular application Defining modules and their properties Building modules from source to JAR Running and debugging modular applications PART 2 - Adapting real-world projects Compatibility challenges when moving to Java 9 or later Recurring challenges when running on Java 9 or later Incremental modularization of existing projects Migration and modularization strategies PART 3 - Advanced module system features Using services to decouple modules Refining dependencies and APIs Reflection in a modular world Module versions: What's possible and what's not Customizing runtime images with jlink Putting the pieces together
