Demo for loading resources on module path and classpath

Resource Bundle Test

Demo for loading java.util.ResourceBundle with different Java versions/configurations:

• Java 1.8
• Java 9+ (classpath)
• Java 9+ (module path)

Resource bundles of a modular application are obtained from a central service in a uniform way, using the dev.morling.links.core.LinksMessages bundle name. The bundles are contributed by the greenkeeping and tournament modules. They are loaded by the core module. Loading happens via an explicitly passed Control (on Java 1.8), via a ResourceBundleControlProvider (on Java 9+ with classpath), or via ResourceBundleProviders (on Java 9+ with module path), respectively.

Build

Use Java 9+ for building the project. Run

mvn clean install

to build all modules.

Then run the following to execute the different scenarios:

• Java 1.8:

export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java-1.8
mvn exec:exec -pl :resourceloading-test-runner -Pclasspath

• Java 9+ (classpath):

export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java-9+
mvn exec:exec -pl :resourceloading-test-runner -Pclasspath

• Java 9+ (module path):

export JAVA_HOME=/path/to/java-9+
mvn exec:exec -pl :resourceloading-test-runner
