[jira] [Commented] (MCOMPILER-315) "Older projects with module-info" documentation does not work

["Keir (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Keir commented on MCOMPILER-315:
--------------------------------

Would be also good to know if the executions mentioned (default-compile, base-compile) has special semantics? A quick google suggests default-compile does have special meaning however it doesn't seem to be referred to anywhere in official docs.

> I copied and pasted the 2nd snipped from https://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-compiler-plugin/examples/module-info.html , amending it to refer to Java 8 rather than 6, however the jar produced by mvn package is still only consumable by Java 9 as all classes appear to have been compiled to its version. Is there something else I need to do to get this to work? If so, the documentation could be clearer. Or have I misunderstood something? I have attached the pom in question.
