Java 9 module example using maven

This article contains Java 9 module example using maven. In order to provide reliable configuration and strong encapsulation in a way that is both approachable to developers and supportable by existing toolchains, we treat modules as a fundamentally new kind of Java program component. A module is a named, self-describing collection of code and data. Its code is organized as a set of packages containing types, i.e., Java classes and interfaces; its data includes resources and other kinds of static information.

Technology

• Java 9
• Maven 2.5
• Maven compiler plugin 3.6.0

Module Structure

module declaration

A module’s self-description is expressed in its module declaration, a new construct of the Java programming language.

module-info.java

/**
 * Created by JavaDeveloperZone on 22-04-2017.
 */
module module.maven.demo {
 requires java.logging;
}

Demo.java

package com.javadeveloperzone;

import java.util.logging.Logger;
/**
 * Created by JavaDeveloperZone on 22-04-2017.
 */
public class Demo {
 public static void main(String... args) {
 Logger logger=Logger.getLogger(Demo.class.getName());
 logger.info("This is module demo using maven");
 }
}
