In the Java programming language, the term "package" is used for the analog of modules in the JLS;<ref>James Gosling, Bill Joy, Guy Steele, Gilad Bracha, ''The Java Language Specification, Third Edition'', {{ISBN|0-321-24678-0}}, 2005. In the Introduction, it is stated "Chapter 7 describes the structure of a program, which is organized into packages similar to the modules of Modula." The word "module" has no special meaning in Java.</ref> — see [[Java package]]. "[[Java Module System|Modules]]", a kind of collection of packages, were introduced in [[Java 9]] as part of [http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jigsaw/ Project Jigsaw]; these were earlier called "superpackages" were planned for Java 7.
