Description

When requiring `tika.parsers` from a Java 9 `module-info.java`, Maven throws an error about not being able to find `tika.parsers`:

 

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-compiler-plugin:3.7.0:compile (default-compile) on project annot8-components-tika: Compilation failure
[ERROR] /home/bakerj/annot8/annot8-components/annot8-components-tika/src/main/java/module-info.java:[9,16] module not found: tika.parsers

 

It looks like this is likely to be a similar issue to: https://github.com/elastic/elasticsearch/issues/28984
