[jsr294-modularity-eg] Practical points

[Daniel Leuck]

My name is Daniel Leuck. I work on compilers, interpreters and UI
technologies on the Java, .NET and AVM (Flex/Flash) platforms. Our
company, Ikayzo, is active in the JCP and open source community. Pat
Niemeyer (our CTO) and I have contributed to about a dozen JSRs
including Java 6, Java Modules, the Java Content Repository,
Scripting, etc. We are keenly interested in seeing a high quality
implementation of modules in Java.
