Missing issue? - indexing

[Alex Buckley]

Rory,

Could you please add Reflections and Scannotation to the Quality 
Outreach effort?

The concern is not whether these tools understand the new JDK image or 
the modulepath. The concern is whether these tools make assumptions 
about the JDK's class loader hierarchy (Gradle was hit by this) and the 
JDK classes loaded by each loader (Eclipse was hit by this).
