Is a JDK9 version of jar required to build the JAR file? If so, then
I wonder why the example I furnished, with com.jtconnors.socket,
worked? It was built the same way.
I think I need to see the JAR file to explain this. My guess is that it
has the ModulePackages class file attribute with the non-exported
packages rather than all packages (the ModulePackages changed a while
back to include all packages). I can't be sure of course but we do need
to improve the error message from jlink when it finds the mismatch with
the JAR file contents.
