Yes as a temporary workaround. This way I could launch the JUnit-Tests!

Right hence I used the static trickery! If you CC me on the tickets I
can bug the JDT-Team a bit to get them sorted out ;-)

Most of the problems are anyways because of the logging stuff. I anyways
wonder what the proposed setup for JUnit-Tests is in a JPMS world.
Should they really be part of the same application-module?

Right this is the biggest blocker!

Yes please do so. Can you share yours? As I said with my "requires
static" trick I can run JUnit-Tests, ... from within my Eclipse Photon
install (install is the wrong term because I'm running inside an
Inner-Eclipse with JDT from master check out!)

Right. As you can see in the bug-report this is an edge case for compilers.
