Java9 Modules (Jigsaw)

[rob...@gmail.com]

Just curious if there are any thoughts about Java 9 modules? It seems like they may be used to express similar information to what's present in BUILD files, so I wonder if module-info.java could take the place of BUILD files if present. (That being said, I'm not really sure if it would make sense to use java modules since Bazel has its own, and maybe it's more a replacement for Bazel).

We're not currently planning to use files other than BUILD files to configure Bazel, though it's not completely out of the question that we might do so in the future. For module-info.java, I'd also rather wait to see how it is received.

I do not think anybody has put any thoughts yet into Jigsaw + Bazel, but adding some folks who might have done so.

If you have any concrete ideas/wishes, feel free to share them :)

The bazel approach tends to be to write a tool to autogen BUILD files from other formats.  This is the approach that the golang rules take.  So, it would likely make most sense, if the module-info.java file has all the information required, to parse it and update the BUILD file.

Hi folks,

  I've been trying to get clarity on the state of Bazel support for Java Modules, and it's not clear to me what blockers exist or where, if at all, they fall on the roadmap. 

Best,
Anthony
