I see. Well IMO, --add-reads should certainly not imply --add-modules
in runtime. But in compile time it would probably be convenient. In
that respect, --add-reads is similar to "requires static" a.k.a.
provided-scope dependency in Maven. javac produces error if "requires
static" dependency is not found, doesn't it?
It should work the same way at both compile time and run time. One
difference that we get ironed out is error cases where javac does not
complain. I think it's on Jon's list to create a test to shake out
issues like this.
As regards --add-reads implying --add-modules then I agree (as
--add-modules is for adding roots and so is pre-resolution).
