-ct -compile-time Compile-time view of transitive dependencies
i.e. compile-time view of -R option.
Analyzes the dependences per other given
options
If a dependence is found from a directory,
a JAR file or a module, all classes in that
containing archive are analyzed.
This defines what compile-time view analysis means.

-m specifies the root module to be analyzed.
In some cases, you will need to specify -addmods to include more modules in the
graph for analysis or needed for the resolution (e.g. java.se.ee is not in the
default policy as specified in JEP 261).

Thanks. I’ll push as is and we could tweak the help message as a follow-up
