Description

Hello all

Seeing as 2020 is approaching I would appreciate it if steps towards properly moving away from JDK8 would be taken. Supporting the JDK9+ module system would be a great start. While many parts already work as a dependency with the automatic module in Akka HTTP not even this is possible due to the fact that for example the package akka.http.impl.settings is used in both akka-http and akka-http-core. Properly restructuring the artifacts would be required for this. However this is just a start and real module-info declarations are required.

Research direction
Identify package conflicts between akka http and akka http core, then define module info.java files with proper exports and transitive dependencies.
