Java Components: Solving the Puzzle with Jigsaw and Gradle

Any large Java project will suffer without a sensible approach to modularization. Java 9 will introduce Jigsaw, a simple model that supports a separation of API and implementation for Java components. As a member of the Jigsaw JSR, Gradle Inc. is building a Gradle model to provide a highly Jigsaw-compatible component model that is already available to users of Java 7 and 8 and will be available to Java 9 users when it is released.

In this session, you will learn how you can model your Java modules with Gradle; enforce modularization for Java 8 and below; and build variants of your modules for Java 6, 7, 8, and 9.
