Robert Scholte created MCOMPILER-275:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: Introduce src/main/jigsaw folder
                 Key: MCOMPILER-275
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-275
             Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
          Issue Type: New Feature
            Reporter: Robert Scholte


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
