Hi, during experimentation I encountered compiler behavior that I found rather strange: It looks like the -classpath and --class-path options do not behave the same way.
In my experiment I create a bunch of modules in 'mods' and then create the last one by putting the modules on the class path (no reason, just playing around): javac -cp "mods/*" -d classes/advent src/advent/advent/Main.java This works and '-classpath' does, too, but '--class-path' doesn't. In that case the compiler complains that the packages contained by the modules in 'mods' do not exist. For an executable version see here: https://github.com/CodeFX-org/demo-jigsaw-advent-calendar/blob/compiling-with-deps-as-modules/compileAndRun.sh#L41-L48 I noticed this on b146 but it also exists in b148; both EA-Jigsaw builds. so long ...
