I'll rephrase the question: What to do which projects who want to have

provide
a module-info file as well?
The main sources are compiled with, for example, -target 1.6 and only
the module-info.java file is compiled with -target 1.9? That way? javac
cannot compile a module-info.java file when not targetting 1.9, correct?
Would be simple then.
Simple? We have several options. Most user friendly might be to have the
"magic" in the maven-compiler-plugin, which implies you need to be able to
set the javac executable for both, set the source/target/release for both.
And how about compilation results (success/failures/error)? Merge them?
All of this made we decide I don't like this option. So I suggest a bit
less user-friendly, but even than there are several options:
- 2 execution blocks with one of following options:
* 2 source folders, one for the java sources, other for the module
source(s).
* 1 source folder, with includes/excludes of module-info.java
- MultiRelease JAR
And their might be options I haven't thought of.
All options are valid, but I think we should come with our preferred
advice or recipe, because we will get these questions for sure.
