Java9, javac --add-exports java.xml.ws/javax.xml.ws=ALL-UNNAMED warning: [options] module name in --add-exports option not found: java.xml.ws

Question

I have made a little test project where I use javax.xml.ws.Holder The package has been moved to module java.xml.ws

import javax.xml.ws.Holder;
    javac \
     --add-exports java.xml.ws/javax.xml.ws=ALL-UNNAMED \
     --add-exports java.management/sun.management=ALL-UNNAMED \
     -sourcepath src/main/java @target/sources.txt -d target/classes

This gives compiler warning

warning: [options] module name in --add-exports option not found: java.xml.ws

You can also see --add-exports java.management it works fine. I have tried to add-exports of all modules in java9 The modules below gets problems. I had a hobby theory that it was because the module was @Deprecated (seems not to hold)

warning: [options] module name in --add-exports option not found: java.xml.ws

You see this error because there is no java.xml.ws module. Correct module name is java.xml. So your command should be:

import javax.xml.ws.Holder;
javac \
 --add-exports java.xml/javax.xml.ws=ALL-UNNAMED \
 --add-exports java.management/sun.management=ALL-UNNAMED \
 -sourcepath src/main/java @target/sources.txt -d target/classes
