javac will give an on-by-default lint warning instead.
The StackOverflow question says "Because I configured the compiler to
treat warnings as errors (-Werror), the build fails." so the
questioner should look at disabling the lint warning (see
https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/11/tools/javac.html#GUID-AEEC9F07-CB49-4E96-8BC7-BCC2C7F725C9).
The scenario in the post seems to be a Maven multi-module project so an
alternative to -Xlint:-module is to compile with --module-source-path so
that module B is observable when compiling A. This should work:
javac --module-source-path project/"*"/src/main/java -d <output> -m A
although I don't know if the Maven compiler plugin can be configured to
use this option/syntax.
