Wesley Reisz talks to Martijn Verburg, co-founder of the London Java Community and CEO of jClarity, about the JCP EC “no” vote on the Java Platform Module System (JPMS), which is due to be shipped as part of Java 9. The talk about what JPMS offers, how it works, what the no vote means and what happens next.

Why listen to this podcast:

- Jigsaw isn’t dead

- The “no” vote was based on the submission being a bit early, and without expert group consensus that it should be submitted

- Since the vote started, several amendments have been made which addressed some of the concerns listed by those who voted “no”

- Daily calls with the expert group and interested parties will work to resolve the outstanding issues promptly

- A resubmission is due within 30 days with a future vote expected to go through
