Hello, I am not sure what the Policy for backward/Forward compatibility for JMOD files is, but when I use JDK-9.0.4 jlink on 11ea JMODs I get a IllegalArgumentException and „error reading“ by JDK-10.0.1 with no further Details.
If the JMOD files require newer jlink, should they have a Version identifier to allow rejecting this. Or is it expected to normally work?
