An exception has occurred in jlink

[Wolfgang Weigend]

Dear folks,

 

I tried the jdk 9 EA jigsaw b83 with the quick start example as below.

 

C:\>jlink --modulepath C:\projects\jdk1.9.0\jmods:mlib --addmods C:\src\com.greetings --output greetingsapp

 

An exception has occurred in jlink. Please file a bug at the Java Bug Database (http://bugreport.java.com/bugreport/) after checking the database for duplicates. Include your program and the following diagnostic in your report.  Thank you.

And without ":mlib" the module wasn't found as below.

 

C:\mlib>jlink --modulepath C:\projects\jdk1.9.0\jmods --addmods com.greetings --output greetingsapp

 

Error: Module com.greetings not found

 

 

 

Any hints are welcome

 

Thanks and kind regards
