Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 07 - Java Modularization - 04 - a Quick Review

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