I don't have time to look it just now but 
java.annotations.common/javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers is 
<module-name>/<class-name> and I wouldn't have expected to see this type 
javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers in this module. It makes me wonder if JAX-RS 
classes have been added or patched into this module. If added to the 
module then javax.ws.rs.ext won't be exported by default, hence 
interface javax.ws.rs.ext.Providers is not accessible to anything 
outside of this module, hence the dynamic module.

There was some discussion on Groovy here a few months ago and it will be 
challenge. There were originally a few challenges getting Nashorn 
(JavaScript) to run too but nothing like this.
