I assume `--add-modules org.junit` will fix this, the reason being that 
no module requires org.junit. On --add-reads failing then this is a 
scenario where javac and the runtime differ in behavior. I think Jon is 
planning a torture test to shake out such differences. I guess one could 
argue here that the --add-modules should be implied but that could be 
confusion too, esp. when the target module is not otherwise resolved.
