JCP Early Draft of JSR 294 Now Available

As you have have already noticed, the JCP Early Draft specification of JSR 294 is now available for download from the JSR page.

In short, it consists of two chapters of the Java Language Specification that have been updated to cover Superpackages. There are change bars to highlight everything that has been touched. Then there are draft revisions for the Java Virtual Machine Specification. Finally, updates to the Java core reflection APIs. If you have followed the earlier explanations here or the expert group discussion, none of this should be too surprising.

If you have any comments about the draft specification, please send them to jsr-294-comments@jcp.org so that Alex and I can collect them and discuss them with the expert group. BTW, we are also working on the implementation, chiefly Jon for the javac changes. We will make the code available on the OpenJDK Modules project once it is ready.
