Hi,

Sander,
    we may not have tested Jigsaw with the path you are trying to take here.

Certainly the common path of a class extending Application will launch 
properly, and I have been trudging through our test cases working on some odder 
paths. What I have not been doing in these paths is dealing with a new module, 
though I would think that would behave similarly to the unnamed module.

It could be that your added complexity here has not been properly dealt with in 
our FX code.

Do you have a "simple" test case that shows this error?

Looking at the exception I see a lot of stuff going on, and it is hard to see 
the root right away.

With modules, we have to add read edge code in certain spots when our code has 
to reach out of the module to a module it does not already know about.

This is the hint here:

(in module javafx.graphics) cannot access class 
javamodularity.easytext.gui.Main (in module javamodularity.easytext.gui)

Our FX module javafx.graphics cannot see into your module.

The question becomes one of where, and order of operations.

When trying to run a module with a main class that extends 
javafx.application.Application, the following exception is thrown by the VM:

This can be solved by adding a (qualified) export in the module-info of the 
module I'm trying to run (inspired by the helpful error message, nice!):

exports javamodularity.easytext.gui to javafx.graphics;

However, that's not really a satisfactory solution. Looks like LauncherImpl 
also needs to setup a readability relation on-the-fly, with the caveat that the 
class extending Application must always be exported by the application 
developer for this to work. Is this the solution we can expect, or are there 
any other plans for this situation?

Sander
