Dear EG members, are you still refining syntax? If so, I would like you to
consider making the keywords a bit more explicit regarding "requires",
"exports", and "provides/uses" by adding "module", "package", and "class"
respectively.
Personally, I find the explicitness to be much more instantly readable.
WDYT?
module java.sql {
requires module java.logging;
requires module java.xml;
exports package java.sql;
exports package javax.sql;
exports package javax.transaction.xa;
provides class java.sql.Driver with com.mysql.jdbc.Driver;
}
module java.base {
...
exports package to
module java.corba,
module java.logging,
module java.sql,
module java.sql.rowset,
module jdk.scripting.nashorn;
}
I also think you could replace "with" with "for" if you flip the ordering:
provides class com.mysql.jdbc.Driver for java.sql.Driver;
Cheers,
Paul
