Fwd: Package resolution when compiling jdk.aot against jdk.vm.ci

[Remi Forax]

Hi Jon,
this is from the graal-dev mailing list,
is there a way to improve the error message of javac when a class is not visible because the package is not exported ?

Sorry, found it:

diff --git a/src/jdk.vm.ci/share/classes/module-info.java b/src/jdk.vm.ci/share/classes/module-info.java
--- a/src/jdk.vm.ci/share/classes/module-info.java

     exports jdk.vm.ci.aarch64 to
+        jdk.aot,
         jdk.vm.compiler;
     exports jdk.vm.ci.amd64 to
         jdk.aot,

One thought: it would be nice if javac were a bit more helpful: simply saying
"not found" is rather baffling.  "Not exported" would be super.

Andrew.
