What's new in Java 7? There are some tweaks to the language, a new garbage collector and better support for non-Java languages, but the headline feature is undoubtedly modularity. The "classpath" has been declared dead... but what exactly will replace it? Unfortunately the official story from Sun provides only half an answer to this question; the reality is more complex.

This talk draws together publicly available information from expert group mailing lists, conference papers and code repositories to present the current status and likely future of modularity in Java. It covers: Project Jigsaw; JSR 294 and the "module" keyword; JSR 291 and OSGi; and the Simple Module System proposal. The emphasis is on giving you the factual information you need to plan for future changes in the Java platform -- not on political grandstanding.
