Hello,
I am not sure what the Policy for backward/Forward compatibility for JMOD files is, but when I use JDK-9.0.4 jlink on 11ea JMODs I get a IllegalArgumentException and „error reading“ by JDK-10.0.1 with no further Details.
If the JMOD files require newer jlink, should they have a Version identifier to allow rejecting this. Or is it expected to normally work?
C:\ >"c:\Program Files\Java\jdk-9.0.4\bin\jlink" --verbose --module-path "jdk-11-oraopenjdk\jmods" --output o1 --add-modules=java.base,jdk.crypto.mscapi,jdk.jartool,jdk.jcmd,jdk.jshell,jdk.naming.dns --strip-debug --compress 2 --no-header-files
