Hi David, Thank you for sharing this.
A couple thoughts - - you might consider posting it in a repo as opposed to a zip so we can follow changes (bitbucket, kenai, whatever) - adding an .hgignore - reading the note at the top of your build.gradle, this comment caught my attention "*Note that the test packages cannot overlap with your module packages.*" I think that one is really important as it would indicate that there might be difficulties doing Android Flavors moving forward. - on your build.gradle, you have '4.+' - it is no longer recommended to use the + and the IDEs will throw warnings about it (also JUnit 5 is available) - instead of having a single build.gradle with 3 different compile tasks; why did you not make it 3 separate modules (each with their own compile task)? When I ran `./gradlew build` it failed because it could not find org.dave.Person: test.org.dave.PersonTest > canConstructAPersonWithAName FAILED java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError at PersonTest.java:11 Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException at PersonTest.java:11 Per your README, I tried setting export _JAVA_OPTIONS="--add-exports dave/org.dave.internal=ALL-UNNAMED" and re-running the build; which resulted in: Unrecognized option: --add-exports Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. Looking at my previous _JAVA_OPTIONS, I tried export _JAVA_OPTIONS="--add-exports=dave/org.dave.internal=ALL-UNNAMED" and re-running the build; which resulted in: Error occurred during initialization of VM java.lang.RuntimeException: Unknown module: dave at jdk.internal.module.ModuleBootstrap.fail(java.base@9-ea /ModuleBootstrap.java:543) at jdk.internal.module.ModuleBootstrap.addExtraExports(java.base@9-ea /ModuleBootstrap.java:457) at jdk.internal.module.ModuleBootstrap.boot(java.base@9-ea /ModuleBootstrap.java:322) at java.lang.System.initPhase2(java.base@9-ea/System.java:1925) Any thoughts?
