==Modules==

{{details|Java Module System}}

In [[Java 9]], "modules", a kind of collection of packages, are planned as part of Project Jigsaw; these were earlier called "superpackages" and originally planned for Java 7.

Modules will describe their dependencies in a module declaration which will be placed in a file named ''module-info.java'' at the root of the module’s source-file hierarchy. The JDK will be able to check them both at compile-time and runtime. The JDK itself will be modularized for [[Java version history#Java SE 9|Java 9]].<ref>{{cite web
