Yes, it's a mess, I agree. It comes from the patched module. Why is this such a mess -- I've no idea, I'm just the user of the library. :) > There was some discussion on Groovy here a few months ago and it will be > challenge. I remember this discussion. For now I disabled the tests that involve RestEast on Java9 and everything else passes. What's interesting is that our application (not the individual tests, the whole thing) works out of the box even without all these module-related hacks -- we use a tiny launcher that in turn collects dependencies into a single URLClassLoader, then runs the application from there. I found this out by accident, but I can already see how people may try to abuse this instead of going through the struggle of finding correct JVM switches for modules (until they become more widespread)...
