Keep informed about the latest Fedora security enhancements, particularly regarding critical vulnerabilities CVE-2024-1938 and CVE-2024-1939 addressed in moditect.
Change for system JDK from 17 to 21

Summary

The ModiTect project aims at providing productivity tools for working with the

Java module system ("Jigsaw"). Currently the following tasks are supported:

* Generating module-info.java descriptors for given artifacts (Maven

dependencies or local JAR files)

* Adding module descriptors to your project's JAR as well as existing JAR files

(dependencies)

* Creating module runtime images

Compared to authoring module descriptors by hand, using ModiTect saves you work

by defining dependence clauses based on your project's dependencies, describing

exported and opened packages with patterns (instead of listing all packages

separately), auto-detecting service usages and more. You also can use ModiTect

to add a module descriptor to your project JAR while staying on Java 8 with your

own build.
