Thanks for your help.
It was failing because I had the "--module" parameter specified before
the "--module-path" parameter:
img/bin/java --module a/a.A --module-path modules
This results in "FindException: Module a not found". It works if I
specify the "--module-path" option first:
img/bin/java --module-path modules --module a/a.A
Similarly for "--upgrade-module-path", it's ignored when specified
after "--module".
I wasn't expecting that options must be given in a specific order; is
this intentional?
Yes, because any arguments after that are arguments to the application main:
$ java -help
Usage: java [options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
or java [options] -p <modulepath> -m <modulename>[/<mainclass>]
[args...]
(to execute the main class in a module)
