Lyor Goldstein commented on SSHD-1091:
--------------------------------------
This is definitely something we will need to go into - however, we currently
declare Java 8 to be our only requirement. Java 9 (and beyond) will certainly
require some work.

The hardest problem to solve is the split packages.
{quote}
This is indeed a pain point - the current packages structure is a compromise of
an evolution over time from a monolithic JAR to some resemblance of modules.
The road is still long to a fully modular approach - further complicated by the
fact that it would require a rather massive re-factoring of the packages names
which would break a lot of backward compatibility (there were some
re-factorings in the past but they were more limited in scope).

> Key: SSHD-1091
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SSHD-1091
> Project: MINA SSHD
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.5.1
> Reporter: Gili
> Priority: Major
> Labels: important
>
> Please use the mechanism found at
> https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/blob/master/src/it/multirelease-patterns/singleproject-runtime/pom.xml#L102-L108
> to build multirelease JAR that will provide module-info.java for users of
> Java 9 and newer.
> The current JAR triggers many problems for users of Java Modules and in fact
> cannot be used at all in its current state due to
> https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-436
> This might be a bug in the Maven Compiler plugin but I suspect that
> ultimately it will a problem with the library itself. For example, I noticed
> that Apache Mina (which this library depends on) has split packages. Split
> packages are incompatible with Java Modules.
