JDK10 build problem: "--module-path"?

[Ted Neward]

So… Hmm. Anybody here know what the blessed way to get OpenJDK9 into a Docker image would be, then?

Looking at

https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=openjdk-9-jdk&searchon=names

it seems like Ubuntu ships whatever openjdk-9 is available at time of creation of a specific version, and doesn't update it afterwards, not even for the quarterly security patches.

I have hit this same problem once for the same reason Alan describes. Ubuntu provided me with a really old EA build of 9.

Really?!? I thought the javac -help only listed -modulepath. Not to disbelieve you *grin*, but are you sure? The reason I ask is (barring some really bizarre misconfiguration) I should be using the OpenJDK9 as the boot JDK for this, and I'm getting the error.

What is your boot JDK? Any possibility that you have really old EA build of JDK 9?
