Description

Moving this from StackOverflow#46727928

Using minimal pom.xml with Java9 as -

    <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jdeps-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.0</version>
            <configuration>
                <module>true</module>
            </configuration>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify main classes -->
                        <goal>test-jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify test classes -->
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>

Results into

Error: unknown option: -M
Usage: jdeps <options> <path ...>]
use -h, -?, -help, or --help for a list of possible options

Also, -m <module-name>/ --module <module-name> in the tool I can see are used to specify the root module for analysis..would this also need a change in Type of the attribute? (not aware of what was the initial construct of the tool used to be)
