I am trying to run below code using jdk-9 but facing problem when compile using command
Command
javac -d mods .\\module-info.java c
Per the Jigsaw Issues List, a module name cannot end with a number. The purpose is to discourage authors from encoding version numbers in module names.
JSR 376 is not final yet and there are several topics still under discussion. The latest proposal on the #VersionsInModuleNames topic is here:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jpms-spec-experts/2017-March/000659.html
As per JDK-8160181 it is not forbidden to use digits in module names, however they should not be related to versioning.
Examples:
Since Lint can't figure out what the digit means it reports digits by default and you can suppress them in module file with:
@SuppressWarnings("module") // 1 in module1 is module number, not version
module module1 {
...
}
The comment is optional but explains "why" the warning was suppressed
Seems like you are compiling with non-jigsaw jdk build here... here is the link were they are jigsaw
With that compiler these same samples that you have compile just fine on my laptop.
This is how java -version looks like for project jigsaw:
java version "9-ea"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 9-ea+153-jigsaw-nightly-h6003-20170124)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 9-ea+153-jigsaw-nightly-h6003-20170124, mixed mode)
EDIT It works with both jigsaw and non-jigsaw build. I have just tried it (build 149)
EDIT2 So i've tried with jdk-9 build 153 and here is what I got:
javac -d mods module-info.java Modules.java
module-info.java:1: warning: [module] module name module1 should avoid terminal digits
module module1 {
^
1 warning
removing the "1" and running the same command compiled OK and mods directory was created with both class files compiled just fine.
