Javadoc task fails (module not found)

See original GitHub issue

The dependencies are configured like this:

dependencies {
	implementation(
		[...]
		'net.bytebuddy:byte-buddy:1.9.11',
		[...]
	)
	[...]
}

The module-info.java looks like this:

open module [...] {
	[...]
	requires net.bytebuddy;
	[...]
}

It results in an error when executing the javadoc task:

[...]\src\main\java\module-info.java:3: error: module not found: net.bytebuddy
requires net.bytebuddy;

ByteBuddy is a multi release jar with the module-info.class inside META-INF/versions/9

Closing because of inactivity. Issue doesn’t seem to be related with the plugin.

I came across this issue and started a quick search.
It is known with the JDK people and has been fixed: JDK-8208269.

Supposedly the fix was backported to JDK version 11.0.5 as well (long-time support)
