JDK 9 Modularization

I’ve opened this ticket to try to keep a running list of the tasks needed to get to full JDK 9 modularization. This continues the work started in https://github.com/jgrapht/jgrapht/pull/458.

• Update plugins to latest versions
• Update JMH to latest version to correct @Generated annotation issues
• Get Antlr4 to publish a module name (https://github.com/antlr/antlr4/pull/2223)
  • Wait for new release
• Fix failing unit tests
  • The GraphXML exporter was asking for indentation but apparently never actually got it. The tests are written to expect no indentation. On JDK 9, the exporter now actually gets indentation in the resulting XML, so the tests must be updated so that the resulting XML texts match.
• Write module descriptors (almost complete, just need the last couple of module names for jgraphx and ANTLR)
• Get jgraphx to publish a module name (https://github.com/jgraph/jgraphx/pull/93)
  • Wait for new release
• Get jgraph to publish a module name (https://github.com/jgraph/legacy-jgraph5) (cancelled, removing the dependency instead)

Work is taking place here: https://github.com/io7m/jgrapht/tree/jdk9

Sounds like you’re doing great work with helping projects move forward with modularization, @io7m, so as an observer, I just wanted to say that I applaud your efforts and I hope things go positively across the board! 😃

update: a new version of jgraphx has been released 😃 Now we just have to wait for antlr…
