How to browse contents of another Java 9 installed JRE?
With Jigsaw, the storage layout of a module is an internal implementation detail. Unlike with JARs in earlier versions of Java, there's no supported way to read the modules of a Java 9 install except via the "jrt:" protocol and its filesystem provider. Those approaches can only access the modules of the currently running VM. For other installed JREs, http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jigsaw-dev/2015-January/004145.html has some discussions and a preliminary solution. However, the proposed hack doesn't solve the problem when trying to access another install when already running in Java 9 (because then, the local "jrt" protocol implementation wins).
Current Focus
The foremost goal for JDT should be to support projects with JDK 9 in their build path. This effort is being tracked by bug 459415.
IMPORTANT NOTES
- The following lines must be added in all headers of modified files for the Java™ 9 implementation:
* This is an implementation of an early-draft specification developed under the Java * Community Process (JCP) and is made available for testing and evaluation purposes * only. The code is not compatible with any specification of the JCP. *
- Use
@since 3.11 BETA_JAVA9
on all newly added members (same bundle version as in Mars release).
