Description Jay Arthanareeswaran CLA 2015-01-14 03:14:36 EST 
This will be the top level bug for JDT Core in tracking the Java 9 support in JDT Core. Java 9 will mainly feature module support. We need to investigate what changes will be exactly required, below being some candidates:

1. The classpath resolution should support "module" along with JARs. We must also investigate the requirement of a new type of classpath container.
2. Lookup environment probably needs to change as well to cater to the new module specification such as access restriction, versions etc.
3. Support to build modules from existing workspace resources, if any.
4. Changes to batch compiler if any.
