Hi!
When incrementally compiling some of a module's sources it is necessary
to make the compiler aware that the sources actually belong to that
module. One way to do this was the non-standard option -Xmodule, which
was recently demoted to the hidden -XD-Xmodule.
I'm curious to know why.
Example:
javac --module-path mods -d classes
src/foo.mod/com.example.SomeClass.java
This will compile SomeClass in the unnamed module, making it fail if it
uses types from bar.mod (even if foo.mod requires it).
I know of three ways to fix this:
* adding module declaration to compile command
* multi-module declaration
* option -XD-Xmodule
I found the last option to be conceptually most fitting and also the
least troublesome.
so long ... Nicolai
