Sybex OCP 11 Programmer I. Answers to review questions for Chapter 11. Question 8 answer incorrect

[Oksana Cherniavskaia]

Hello, Jeanne and Scott.

I believe that answer to question 8  for Chapter 11 contains error.

Which commands take a --module-path parameter? (Choose all that apply.)

Excerpt From: Boyarsky, Jeanne. “OCP Oracle Certified Professional Java SE 11 Programmer I Study Guide”.

Answer for that question tells that jmod command does not have such an option. But it is not correct.

jmod --help Usage: jmod (create|extract|list|describe|hash) <OPTIONS> <jmod-file> Main operation modes:  create    - Creates a new jmod archive  extract   - Extracts all the files from the archive  list      - Prints the names of all the entries  describe  - Prints the module details  hash      - Records hashes of tied modules.

Confirmed and added to errata. If we do another printing, jmod will be removed as an answer choice from that question since knowing this is out of scope.

[Oksana Cherniavskaia]

Thanks, Jeanne. But is jmod out of scope for 1z0-816 and 1z0-817?

[Sriram Muthaiah]

Even jar has --module-path or -p option. I think this is also missed. Please confirm

Jeanne and/or Scott,

It has been a little while since the OP, Sybex CSG (still) contains jmod material,  and since jmod is not currently listed under What don’t I need to study?, is jmod relevant for 819?  

[Jeanne Boyarsky]

jmod is still in scope. But that flag is not.

Just wanted to point out this - I still don't see this in errata or confirmed, but indeed also jar has this option.

Also not something that needs to be known for the exam.

It's also "weird" because only valid in create/update modes
