Cyclic dependencies during multi-module compilation

[Zheka Kozlov]

Hi Nicolai.

I cannot reproduce what you said. I'm using JDK 10.0.1. I created two
modules moduleA and moduleB which require each other. When I tried to
compile, javac failed with an error: cyclic dependence involving module.

Do you observer a different behavior?
