Java latest module plan involves improvements for Java Packager






Significant improvements are made to Java modules every year. In future, Java latest module plan involves improvements for Java packager to reduce overall runtime environment. Recently Module enhancement plan has been proposed by Java development firm that includes modifications to Java packager to make it robust and even stronger.


If you are familiar with the concept of Java packager then it can be used for design, compile, package and deploy Java apps through command line prompt. Java packager will bundle apps and reduces overall size of JRE that needs to be shorten. According to technical team of Java Development Company, the workflow of Java packager would be the same but certain tools are added to enhance its working.


The new Java Packager can work with JDK 9 only that simplifies the app development for the Companies. In case, you wanted to use it along with Java 8 then Java packager that was shipped with previous version can be utilized only. Modularization was proposed for Java 8 too but it was delayed until release of Java 9. Java 8 was released in May but modularization goal was not achieved till that time.





Now Java 9 module plan has been released and also announced by Oracle’s architect team. The expert team has also talked about benefits of a modular system like scalable app development, easy configuration, secure apps, and optimized performance. Java Development Company can enjoy all benefits of modular system only if it is implemented wisely.


The module enhancement includes module path too along with classpath. New features and options are added by Java development team that will allow developers to specify module path. Besides this, modularization can also help in effective resource handling with better allocation and management. According to Oracle’s architect team, module enhancements will surely be a boon for Java development team.
