JPMS Avro - Static #171

Closed GedMarc closed 5 years ago

GedMarc commented 5 years ago

to allow dependency to name properly, and allow implementor to define and change as need be

Ok so for Avro it makes sense (as use of Apache Avro is optional). But is the same true for Ion? I don't think there is currently any way to avoid loading Ion codec.

Also wrt Avro -- I hope to soon upgrade Apache Avro dep to 1.9 which will change things a bit here, as it drops Jackson 1.x (relies now on 2.x). But until then change makes sense of course.

Ion will be looked for on the UNNAMED module section, and lets consumers specify the module for requirement :) As long as the dependency is included (any version) the packages will pick up,

I did something very similar here (https://github.com/GedMarc/guice-servlet/blob/master/moditect/module-info.java) on the guice module, which has classes for both servlet 2.5 and 3 -

this allows the consumer to load either of them and not crash on building jlink or something like that

Ok so looks like Avro 1.9 upgrade is not as easy as I hoped (things compile fine, but fail lots of unit tests -- and unit test contributions use great-jazzy test matrix features which means I can not figure out what even fails... which is not that great, but I digress), so it's probably best to prepare for 1.8.x being the implementation for Jackson 2.10.

So I'll merge this: not much Ion usage, and I suspect their module info ... does not exist? In which case someone probably has to repackage it, so static makes sense to allow users to work around that gap.
