I wrote a thorough introduction to Project Jigsaw. In the recommended order (which is different from their publication order) these are:

Motivation And Goals Of Project Jigsaw#post#java‑next #java‑9 #project‑jigsaw
A look at how Project Jigsaw (coming in Java 9) aims to solve JAR/classpath hell and at its goals to improve security, maintainability and performance.

How Java 9 And Project Jigsaw May Break Your Code#post#java‑next #java‑9 #project‑jigsaw #deprecation #migration
With Java 9 comes Project Jigsaw - a modularization of the JDK - which will break existing code. An overview over the planned changes lets you see whether yours is affected.

Will There Be Module Hell?#post#java‑next #java‑9 #project‑jigsaw
Java 9's Project Jigsaw promises to solve JAR hell but falls short when it comes to conflicting versions. Will there be module hell instead?

Then there are a bunch more posts on the topic that can be read in pretty much any order:

Java 2077#post#java‑next #project‑amber #project‑jigsaw #project‑leyden #project‑loom #project‑panama #project‑valhalla
The year is 2077, the Java version is 128. It's not LTS. Here's how Loom, Valhalla, Panama, Leyden, Amber, and Jigsaw pushed humanity to the brink. And how you can save us.

Reflection vs Encapsulation#post#java‑9 #j_ms #project‑jigsaw #reflection
Reflection wants to break into all code; encapsulation wants to give modules a safe space. How can this stand off be resolved?

SPJCN II: What's Taking So Long?#post#java‑9 #project‑jigsaw
In the second issue of SitePoint’s Java Channel Newsletter (from September 23rd 2016) I wonder why Java 9 takes so long.

Six-Month Delay Of Java 9 Release#post#java‑next #java‑9 #project‑jigsaw
Mark Reinhold proposed a six-month delay of JSR 376 / Project Jigsaw and thus of the Java 9 release. According to this JDK 9 would come out in March 2017.

First Release of JDeps Maven Plugin#post#java‑9 #jdeps #tools #project‑jigsaw
The JDeps Maven Plugin will break a project's build if it contains dependencies on JDK-internal APIs. This helps to prepare for Java 9.
