How does Class-Data Sharing – which they've now extended to include application classes – interact with the new "jimage"-format files (e.g. lib/modules) introduced in Java 9? Will the jimage file also be efficiently memory-mapped, making CDS superfluous, or should they be both be applied?
There is disappointingly little information available on jimage so it's hard to compare. jimage does require you to be fully modular while CDS does not. OTOH CDS is quite a bit tedious to set up.
