JEP 494: Module Import Declarations (Second Preview)

🧠 What is JEP 494?

JEP 494 introduces import module declarations to improve readability and clarity when using services or static methods from other modules, particularly with requires static in module-info.java.

✅ Why it's useful?

• Makes it obvious where a static method, class, or service comes from.

• Improves clarity when reading large modular codebases.

• Especially useful for service usage and static factory methods.

RUN:

SimpleModuleImportExample -> Only module import is needed

import module java.base;

public class SimpleModuleImportExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        var r=List.of(1,2,3);

        r.stream().map(BigDecimal::new).map(BigDecimal::negate).forEach(System.out::println);
    }
}
