Then javac reports

  javac: no source files

When I add an empty module as a synthetic root reading all other modules
and use:

  javac --module-source-path src/main --module root

it works. But if your application/library consists of independent module
graphs, you can't compile them in one go.

An advantage of the combination of "--module-source-path" and "--module"
options is, you don't have to specify any .java source file.
