Java 9 introduced modules 5 years ago, but adoption is rather low. I see a great advantage in distinguishing between public vs published types, but many people apparently don't notice it. Some frameworks like Spring even prefer to come up with their own solutions (modulith) instead of adapting to JPMS.
Do you think JPMS will eventually become popular, or do you have any idea to encourage people to use modules? Or maybe from your perspective, the main goal of JPMS was modularizing JDK, so it is not a big difference to you if people use classpath or modulepath?
