[jdt-core-dev] Is Java 9 modularity supported in AST standalone parser?

[unogs@xxxxx <unogs@xxxxx>]

Hi,

I am trying to setup standalone parser to compile java 9 module based project, but I failed.

No matter how I setup the environment it looks like parser does not see files in context of modules and I got compile errors.

here is the simple example, I have a project with structure:

main

....src

........main

............Main.java

........module-info.java

and here is the content of module-info.java file

module main {

    exports main;

}

and Main.java file

package main;

public class Main {

 public static void main(String[] args)

 {

    System.out.println("hello world!");

 }

}

I compile both of those files using ASTParser.createASTs() method. Main.java compiles fine, but for module-info.java i always got following compile error:

"The package main does not exist or is empty"

My question is how to configure environment to make it pass?

Do you know maybe any example/unit test for similar case? I will be very grateful for that.

Or maybe there should be other question raised: is Java 9 modularity supported in AST standalone parser?

This is very simple example. If I am using two or modules it looks like parser is not able to recognize other modules on classpath. So if use 'requires' directive in module-info.java refering to some other module parser throws an compile error if this module in on classpath/sourcepath.

There is also at least one problem that AST standalone parser is not aware of module-info.class which I reported in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=538037
