javax.smartcardio with Java 9 and ClassPath

Question

Under Java 9, various default packages have been switched to Java EE packages (no longer included in JVM - optionally addable). This is not a problem for most of them because I simply specify the Java EE packages as dependencies. With the said package javax.smartcardio , however, I didn't find anything where it could have landed (github-jee, no Maven search result,...). Can someone give me a tip where to get the latest version of the package? Thank you much!

I have just found out that javax.smartcardio still exists as a module java.smartcardio . However, this doesn't help me because I am still working with the ClassPath in my project and would have to work with Jigsaw to get it.

Answer 1

I verified that at runtime javax.smartcardio is available out of the box if you are on the classpath.
No --add-modules is required.

Answer 2

Use a module-info.java to require the java.smartcardio module. This worked for me.
