Description

Given a project with multiple source directories, java, java9 and java11, each MR directory should compile against the previous one. In the current plugin, this only happens if the MR directory contains a module-info.java file.

The attached reproducer expects toolchains to be set up for the jdk9 and jdk11 compilers. It fails when trying to compile the java11 directory, as the classes/META-INF/versions/9 directory is not present on its classpath.
