How to let an automatic module find its own resources in Java 9?

Question

I am trying to get my application to run with Java 9, but unfortunately one of the plain jar dependencies, when it tries to load a resource using classLoader.getResour

Answer 1

Try to add an 'opens' declaration to the automatic module 'ivy'. That allows access to it's resources:

java --add-opens ivy/<dot.separated.path.to.resources>=ALL-UNNAMED --module-path my-mod.jar:ivy-2.4.0.jar -m my.mod
