Support for JDK9 #278

Open pratikpparikh opened 7 years ago

pratikpparikh commented 7 years ago

Dear Authors,

Is it possible make quasar jdk9 compatible and converting it to the module using Java Platform Module System? Long ago I was told that with JDK9 we won't need agents? is that still the case?

Regards, Pratik Parikh

Here http://docs.paralleluniverse.co/quasar/ i read in documentation: Note: work is ongoing with the OpenJDK team that will allow to remove this restriction completely starting with a JDK9 version of Quasar: efficient, automatic runtime instrumentation will be performed at the bytecode level, that is for all code written in any JVM language, without need anymore for annotations nor instrumentation plugins.

What is the state of this? We are very excited about jdk 9 and look forward to to this quasar future for a long time, because today we have very very many Suspandable annotations everywhere in the code.

So is this improvement of instrumentation in jdk9? Any link to some JSR?
