Hi,
first of all I'd like to say that I'm very pleased with the new -mp
options, these matches better with the way Apache Maven would like to
work with jars and class-folders.
Here's my use case: I noticed that if I add a module-info to
src/main/java and put all compile-scoped dependencies to the module
path, all compiles fines.
I assume that developers are less interested in adding a
module-info.java file to src/test/java, so that's what I'm doing right
now too.
Now it seems that I *must* add compile + test scoped to the
*classpath* to be able to compile the test classes.
My first approach was to leave the compile-scoped dependencies on the
modulepath and all test-scoped dependencies on the classpath, so the
modules keeps their inner related structure, but it seems that the
classpath classes cannot access the modulepath classes.
I'm looking for the confirmation that putting all dependencies on the
classpath is indeed the right approach in this case.
thanks,
Robert
Robert,
We definitely need some more detailed notes on setting up javac
compilations (note to self!) but one thing to note is that by default,
the unnamed module (i.e. code on the classpath) only has observability
of the modules in the system image. To make modules on the module path
observable, you need to use the -addmods option.
