    Description

      JBoss Modules does not currently support exporting META-INF/services from a system dependency as it does for module dependencies. As a result, any services provided by the JRE cannot be seen from other modules.

      This results in deployments not being able to use javax.print.PrintServiceLookup and other API, since they will not find any implementations.

      The modules/sun/jdk/main/service-loader-resources/ exists purely to work around this problem. It is not the best solution since the contents are JRE-specific.

          Bug - A problem that impairs or prevents the functions of the product. MODULES-141 System dependency forcibly import-filters META-INF

          • Major - To be worked after higher priority work items are addressed. When the severity is high and the effort to change it is low to moderate, this term is chosen. Issues in this category likely have an existing workaround but implementation or execution may be non-trivial.
