Learn Java from Scratch - A Beginner's Guide - Step 07 - Java Modularization - 04 - a Quick Review

The video tutorial discusses the concept of modularization in Java, focusing on the module descriptor file, which defines metadata about a module. It explains the use of 'requires' and 'transitive requires' to manage dependencies between modules. The tutorial also covers the 'exports' statement for controlling package access and how Java 9 modules can restrict reflection. Key advantages of modularization, such as compile-time checks, better encapsulation, and a smaller Java runtime, are highlighted.

What is the purpose of the 'module-info.java' file in Java modularization?

• To configure the build process of a module

• To specify the dependencies and metadata of a module

• To define the main class of a module

• To list all classes within a module

How does 'transitive requires' differ from a normal 'requires' statement?

• It removes the need for a module descriptor file

• It enables dependent modules to access the required module indirectly

• It automatically exports all packages of a module

• It allows a module to access private classes of another module

What is the role of the 'exports' statement in a Java module?

• To allow specific packages to be accessed by other modules

• To automatically import all packages from another module

• To define the entry point of a module

• To hide all classes from other modules

How can Java 9 modules control reflection access?

• By using the 'requires' statement

• By using the 'exports' statement

• By disabling reflection entirely

• By opening specific packages to specific modules

Which of the following is an advantage of using Java modularization?

• Automatic dependency resolution

• Better encapsulation and smaller runtime

• Lack of compile-time checks

• Increased runtime size
