> When you want to add a module-info.java file to your project AND want your code to be compatible with older java version, then you need to call {{javac}} twice.
> To prevent all kinds of magic for selecting the right files to compile with the right version of Java it is probably better to just have a separate folder for it. I'd prefer to call it 'jigsaw' instead of java9, so it'll still makes sense once we're at java16
