Multiple versions of a non-exported dependency

[Alex Buckley]

This has been a good conversation but I'm unwilling to enter into 
unbounded discussion of hypothetical future features. Here are some 
practical things you can try with JDK 9 right now:

- Have you run your JDK 8 application on a JDK 9 EA build?
- Have you jlinked an image consisting of a handful of JDK 9 modules, 
and run your application on top of that?
- Have you declared modules for your application and put supporting 
legacy JARs on the modulepath as automatic modules?
