Colbert Philippe commented on MCOMPILER-337:
--------------------------------------------
Hi Robert! Robert, I used Eclipse to create the entire project structure. I
didn't hand-code it! It take too long my hand. I prefer to do it through
Eclipse. My version of Eclipse is the most recent one for Java9. It's
Eclipse 4.8M. There is another version: Eclipse 4.8M a for Java10. I think
both are very similar.
Here is how I created the project under Eclipse using Maven.
* I create a new simple Java project using Maven. I make sure that it's
package is POM. That's my parent project.
* Within my parent project (right-click on parent), go down the menu to
Maven->Create New Maven Module, which creates a new child-project for a module.
* The module-info is not in the child-project (it should since I selected
'Create new Maven Module'). Eclipse should be doing this automatically.
* I am forced to create my own module-info.java. I do this using Eclipse
menu option. Right-click child-project->Configure->Create module-info
* I am also forced to create the module package myself. Eclipse should be
doing this.
* I populate the module-info.java as show my original letter.
If you wish, we can do a Skype conference and do a screen-share. This might
save time narrowing down the problem.
The bottom-line is that Maven + maven-compiler-plugin is mixing-up Classpath
and module-path. That's WRONG! Only module-path should be used!

> Key: MCOMPILER-337
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-337
> Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 3.7.0
> Reporter: Colbert Philippe
> Priority: Major
>
> I'm trying to use Eclipse (4.8M4) with Maven to practice Java9 module.
> I already contacted Maven to ask what version of Maven to use with Java 9
> module feature. They recommended the latest version: Maven 3.5.0 (latest)
> with the Maven plug-in: maven-compiler-plugin 3.7.0, which is what I'm using.
> I'm also using Java JDK 9.
> I want to report a problem with Maven when working with Java 9 module
> feature. It's not a big problem but it's big enough to prevent the use of
> Maven with Java 9 modules. The problem is with Maven, when used under
> Eclipse. I create Maven projects under Eclipse for speed.
> I created two identical projects with Java 9 module. The two projects make
> use of a few old-style Jar files by importing them as default module (as
> prescribed by the makers of Java 9). The jar files are: ant.jar,
> commons-beanutils-1.9.3.jar, commons-collections4-4.1.jar,
> commons-lang3-3.7.jar.
> * The first project is a small project built from the command-line with a
> text-editor. It's a Java 9 module project (has a module-info.java) and makes
> use of these 4 libray jar files in the manner prescribed by the Java 9
> documentation. This project compiles and works. All Jar files are put the the
> module-path of the project and their respective 'requires' statement is in
> the module-info.java file. (see below)
>
> {code:java}
> module canada.ontario {
> exports canada.ontario;
> requires org.apache.commons.lang3;
> requires commons.collections4;
> requires commons.beanutils;
> }
> {code}
> *
> ** The second project is identical to the first one but is built using Maven
> (versions specified above) created under Eclipse. The project as created as
> intended based on Maven guidelines. First a parent project was created with
> packaging set with pom. The a child-project was created for the module.
> After the child-project was created, in the child-project POM file, I entered
> the full plug-in entries to use the new 'maven-compiler-plugin' version
> 3.7.0. This works because we can see its use on the compiling log display
> messages.
> On Eclipse Workspace view, I selected the parent project root (previously
> created), right clicking on the parent project, then selecting 'Maven', then
> selecting 'New Maven Module Project'. This creates a Maven child project for
> the new module.
> - I created a 'module-info.java' with the name of the module
> (canada.ontario) in the src directory.
> - I also created a package with the same name as the module (canada.ontario).
> - I entered the same 'exports' and 'requires' statements as displayed above.
> - I also entered all the Maven dependencies to each of the four (4)
> libraries stated above. I got these dependencies from the Maven repository.
> - I also enabled full compile-time log-message diplay, in order to get
> maximum information.
> HERE IS THE PROBLEM WHEN COMPILING THIS SECOND MAVEN CHILD-PROJECT!
> When compiling the second child-project for the module, there is an error. I
> have narrowed down the reason for the error.
> For some unknown reason, the Maven compiler plug-in DOES NOT put all the jar
> dependencies under the module-path. It splits the list of dependencies
> between the classpath and the module-path, WHICH IS WRONG! (see below)
> {noformat}

> hand-created project works fine. I am certain that this is the cause of the
