Are you using `javap` to look at the class or something else?

I ask because `javap` tool was updated in JDK 10 to render annotations 
in a more friendly way. When I use the JDK 10 `javap` to look at the 
jdk.xml.bind's module-info.class from JDK 9 I see:

RuntimeVisibleAnnotations:
   0: #5(#6=s#7,#8=Z#9)
     java.lang.Deprecated(
       since="9"
       forRemoval=true
     )

whereas the JDK 9 `javap` prints less useful output.
