Robert,
How do you compile these 2 modules with Maven ?
module foo {
  exports foo to bar;
}

module bar {
  requires foo;
}

when compiling 'foo' javac needs to see if 'bar' exists and when  
compiling 'bar', javac will ask to see 'foo'.

I don't think so:

"It is permitted for the to clause of an exports or opens statement to  
specify a module which is not observable."
[lang-vm.html 1.1.2 - 2017/1/9]

I assume this will eventually (when??) become part of JLS, right?

cheers,

Confirmed. I've added an integration-test to the maven-compiler-plugin,  
works as expected. No need for cross reference dependencies.

thanks,
Robert
