Description
Velocity 2.0.0 will introduce a true modularization system, built on the basis of Java 9+'s Project Jigsaw. This issue will act as a tracking issue for the overall modularization project.
Why are we doing this?
- Smaller deployment sizes for Velocity, great for containerization.
- Allow higher velocity of development.
- Allow the possibility for extending parts of the proxy live, without reloading or doing hacks to try and offload packet handling.

Research direction
This is a tracking issue for Velocity's overall modularization project and names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by studying the Java 9+ Project Jigsaw basis described in the issue and reviewing the repository structure. Done means the proxy has the planned modularization system, but the issue does not define its individual milestones or acceptance checks.
