Hi Mark,

I wasn't aware of this request, simply because I assumed that classpath and modulepath would allow similar arguments. Main difference: in case of a modulepath the module-info is used if available otherwise it is considered a auto module. When using classpath arguments, the module-info is ignored here.

We did however talk about auto recognition of modules, because for the end-users it shouldn't matter if the jar is a module or not. For them it is just another dependency.
My current focus is on javac and it seems like I don't need it here yet.

thanks,
Robert

On behalf of the Apache Maven team I'm working on the Plexus Compiler[1]
to support compilation of modules and I'm struggling with the
specification of the modulepath.

To ensure that exactly the dependencies as specified in the pom.xml are
used (not more or less) without the need to copy files it would be my wish
to have -mp also support (jar)-files.

Thanks for the reminder about this.  As I may have mentioned to you when
we spoke at JavaOne, several tool maintainers have made this request.
