Migrating to Java 9 Modules with ModiTect
summary
ModiTect is a Maven-based tool that analyzes project classpaths to generate candidate module descriptors, applies rule-based edits for requires and exports, and writes those descriptors back into legacy JARs so they can be jlinked into a modular runtime. The demo builds an Undertow web service, shows toggling a static dependency to drop unused Java SE modules, and produces a compact 22 MB runtime image, proving modularized apps can be small and reproducible.
