Actually, you really do need to use a multi-release jar to include a module-info class file. Otherwise it may be sitting alongside of classes compiled for an earlier java release and various tools will fail because of it.

Then those tools need fixing.

Using multi-release jar files doesn't really help either, as other
tools don't understand those.

Would it be useful (and interesting as part of GSoC work) to
establish
(1) which tools requires fixing,
(2) prepare enhancement requests for the respective projects,
and in the meantime, adapt the "Commons" build (with a "JDK 9"
profile)
(3) to disable plugins that do not work yet,
(4) provide the option to generate a "multi-release" JAR (although
    it would not be the deployed as part of the official release
    process)?
