With Platform Module System, New Tools, New Core Libraries, Client Technologies and Languages Updates ..., we all will be interested in how it makes many cool things for development.

I. Java Platform Module System
Java 9 Module System, which is developed under Project Jigsaw, comes to us with the specific goal: to provide reliable configuration and strong flexible encapsulation. That helps application developers, library developers, or Java SE Platform implementors more easilier create a scalable platform, make greater platform integrity, and improve performance.
What is Module?
A module is a named, self-describing collection of:
- code: packages containing types (Java classes, interfaces...)
- data: resources and other kinds of static information.
In summary:
- Class contains fields, methods.
- Package contains Classes, Enums, Interfaces, configuration files...
- Module contains Package and Other data resources.
Module system mechanism provides Readability and Accessibility that control how a module can read others and to be accessed by others.
There are three kinds of module: named module, unnamed module, automatic module.
Java has a java.util.ServiceLoader class that helps to locate service providers at runtime by searching in class path. Now we can also specify service providers and users defined in modules.

II. Tools
1. Jshell - The Java Shell
Java 9 provides an interactive REPL (Read-Eval-Print Loop) tool to test code snippets rapidly without a test project or main method. So we can learn or evaluate Java features easily.
