Ok, got it to work by patching the default module this package comes from:
-Xpatch:java.annotations.common=mods\javax.annotation.prior...@1.0.jar
The name of the module was kind of misleading (different than packages
inside). I kept trying to patch javax.annotation... also, I couldn't
get it to work with upgrademodulepath, no matter how hard I tried
(copied java.annotations.common.jmod verbatim, created a modular jar
out of it). Everything falls to pieces with:
> java -upgrademodulepath mods -cp . Test
Error occurred during initialization of VM
