Paul Merlin commented on POLYGENE-266:
--------------------------------------

Before considering doing this we must ensure it will be possible with Jigsaw.
I doubt it will be.

> rt.jar nowadays contains ASM, which should be possible to use instead of ASM as an external dependency. That would remove "the last" dependency from Polygene Core (I assume java.json will be part of Java 9)
> Initial test shows that there is no problem per se, but that build tooling will try to hide these rt.jar classes. Not sure if it is Gradle or javac that does this, and whether there is a way to cicrumvent it.
