Thanks Paul.

That’s exactly what I needed.

Hi Deepak,

The error indicates you are not using a version of OpenJDK Jigsaw to
compile. See the "executable" attribute of the javac task.

However, there is a more fundamental issue using the javac ant task since it
knows nothing about the new javac command line options. Thus it will likely
confuse OpenJDK Jigsaw javac by including the "-classpath" option in
addition to the '-modulepath" option explicitly added (which needs to
be <compilerarg line="-modulepath modules" />)

This is why i have been using special ant macros until the ant tasks are
modified.

See the examples, that are ant-based, linked from:

Hello,



Has anyone written an ANT build file for the Quick start example on Project
jigsaw's homepage ?



Since current Maven is pretty much unusable for Jigsaw projects (right?), I
tried to create an ANT build.xml with the intention to define targets like



compile - compile the code.

dist - prepare the jmod files using jpkg.

install - install the jmod files into project's module library using jmod.



But, I can't get the compile to happen successfully. This is what I tried :
(target init creates the modules/ folder)



   <target name="compile" depends="init">

       <javac srcdir="src" sourcepath="src/classes" destdir="modules"
fork="yes" includeantruntime="no">

           <compilerarg value="-modulepath modules" /> 

       </javac>

   </target>



The build fails with this message :



compile:

   [javac] Compiling 5 source files to
/home/deepak/Projects/kingdom/kssjava8/jigsaw/modules

   [javac] javac: invalid flag: -modulepath modules

   [javac] Usage: javac <options> <source files>

   [javac] use -help for a list of possible options



Any suggestions ?
