Java Modules in Real Life

source code

Want to play around with the code yourself? Check out the repository Module System Woes, common problems that pop up in modularized projects and their solutions or workarounds - it contains many of the snippets shown in this talk. It has a permissive license, so you can reuse the code for your projects.

Many Java projects (by some counts, over half) run on Java versions that support the module system and Maven Central offers over 4.200 modules. If you think about creating modules for your (next) project, you may have some questions:

Why use modules?
Incremental modularization
What are common or tricky roadblocks?
Where's the exit?!
When (not) to use modules?

In this talk, I'll answer these questions, so you can better decide whether modules are right for your project.

▚Slides

Here's the current version of the slides.

I also embedded them below. If they're focussed, you can navigate with arrow keys or swipes (they're two-dimensional, with chapters on the horizontal axis and chapter content layed out vertically). Use Page Up/Down for linearized order and ? for more shortcuts.
