The baby and the bathwater (the return)

[Remi Forax]

Hi all,
There were discussions on that list [1] about the fact that beginning with Java 9, there were 2 ways to deploy modules, classpath vs module-path.

I've discovered last Friday there that are not 2 configurations but 3 configurations.
You can also use jlink [2] and in that case, the modules are not loaded though the module-path but are considered as system modules, so a library should also be tested with that configuration.

In my case, Spring Boot annotations scanning works with the classpath, works with the module-path but fails if deployed as system modules [3].

regards,
Rémi
