Hello Robert Thanks for your reply.

That's it! > My email was saying that there is a need to change the folder structure for using Java Platform Modular System with "--module-path" options. The key part is "--module-path". What maven-compiler-plugin-3.8.0 does is to use the "--class-path" options, which are the legacy options before Jigsaw. The consequence is that it is currently not possible to build more than one Jigsaw module in a single invocation of "javac", "javadoc", "jlink" or other JDK tools with Maven. Consequently I'm not aware of any way to generate a multi-modules javadoc, or to execute annotation processors using information from more than one module (except by generating temporary files), or any other task for which there is advantages in being able to use standard JDK tools with their new "--module-path" options. What I want is to be able to use Maven with Java "--module-path" options instead than "--class-path". This is where the Maven standard directory layout become an obstacle, because the "--module-path" option imposes a directory layout which is different than the Maven's one. I realize that not everyone may want to build a multi-modular project using "--module-path" option. But before Java 9, Maven made the use of javac easier without blocking the use of other options when desired. Since Java 9, we have a difficulty for which I have not yet found a satisfying solution other than the proposed Maven changes. > The key library which might(/should!) be interesting for you is > Plexus-Java [1], which calculates the modulepath. I have not looked in details to Plexus-Java. Does it create a path for each Maven module? That would be a workaround, but it still more complicated than using Jigsaw in its "natural" way.
