A recent addition is the ability to deprecate a module.
The static analysis tool, at least, should be able to ascertain what modules are deprecated and should be able to report uses of them.
Comments
java.activation, java.corba, java.transaction, java.xml.bind, java.xml.ws, java.xml.ws.annotation are deprecated in JDK 9. It'd be useful for jdeprscan to flag references to APIs of deprecated modules, as other deprecated API.
