Alex,
Sure, I will try to reach out to them.
If you or anyone on the list has contacts they can share with me that
would be great.

Rory,
Could you please add Reflections and Scannotation to the Quality
Outreach effort?
The concern is not whether these tools understand the new JDK image or
the modulepath. The concern is whether these tools make assumptions
about the JDK's class loader hierarchy (Gradle was hit by this) and the
JDK classes loaded by each loader (Eclipse was hit by this).

Tools like Reflections [1], Scannotaions [2] and many more [3] provide
the ability to find instances of annotations on the classpath. They
also provide the ability to find subclasses of an interface. This kind
of tooling is commonly needed by Java EE. Different tools use
different approaches to gather the information, but it is definitely
something that could be captured when building a module. At the very
least, it is important to ensure that these tools continue to work.
