Hi Rory,

All tests are green on our side with JDK 9 EA b174 and JDK 8u152 b04 !

P.S. I'm eagerly waiting for June's module system implementation refresh - https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8181087 and RC1 in general.

Thanks Evgeny, will keep an eye on when the fix below becomes available!

Hi Rory,

Thank you for the notification and excuse me for delay with reply.

We had some difficulties to run Maven on JDK 9 builds after 175 ( https://github.com/jacoco/jacoco/pull/558 ), but now we're back on track. And all tests are green for JDK 9 up to latest b177.

Also I played more deeply with modules and with jar manifest attribute "Automatic-Module-Name": as far as I can see, jar-files loaded as Java agents via "-javaagent" are never considered to be modules, even if they have manifest attribute and/or "module-info.class". This was also observed by Rafael Winterhalter in https://stackoverflow.com/questions/42403069/java-9-jigsaw-support-for-javaagent/42424221 We have an interesting use-case for which in modular case might be valuable to be able to open access to classes of Java agent via "--add-reads". So I'm wondering about this story in general (was it discussed somewhere already?) and in particular if this is something that will/might be addressed before GA?

Regards,

Evgeny
