What Project Jigsaw Brings to Java 9?
Project Jigsaw was launched with the primary objective to simplify development and maintenance of libraries and large application. In addition to modularizing the Java Development Kit (JDK), Project Jigsaw also aims to boost the maintainability and security of Java SE Platform Implementations. Initially, the project was intended for Java 7. But it was subsequently deferred to Java 8. Project Jigsaw finally modularized JDK in 2017 by implementing a standard module system for Java 9.
While using Java 9, programmers can leverage the standard module system implemented by Project Jigsaw by availing widely used design principle- modularity. They can now simplify development, testing, and maintenance of large and complex enterprise applications by dividing the program into a number of independent modules. They can even use a standardized interface to make the individual components communicate with each other seamlessly. Hence, Project Jigsaw contributed immensely towards making Java 9 different from its predecessors.
