It would be better to emit a more informative message e.g. “javafx.base cannot
access class com.foo (in module foo.app). Either exports com.foo unqualifiedly
or open com.foo to javafx.base”. Also in MethodUtil::invoke
61 if (!module.isExported(packageName)) {
You can do this check only if module.isNamed.

You are right. Wont’t work.

I will leave it up to you.
