Websphere 9 server, I see error messages in the deployment manager console:

Switching back to the older 1.7.25 version lets this error message disappear. 

The reason is that Websphere (still) uses Java 8 which cannot parse / process 
the {{module-info.class}} that was compiled with Java 9.

My WAR inside the EAR actually only uses {{slf4j-api-1.8.0-beta2.jar}} and 
{{jcl-over-slf4j-1.8.0-beta2.jar}}, but I assume that all Jars containing this 
file are affected.


Solution:

Move the class to {{META-INF/versions/9}} and mark the resulting jar as being a 
multi-release jar. See the example in 
[https://github.com/apache/maven-compiler-plugin/blob/master/src/it/multirelease-patterns/singleproject-runtime/pom.xml]
 for how to do this
