Java 9 module : Couldn't load shared library 'libgdx64.so' for target: Linux, 64-bit

See original GitHub issue

Issue details

Simply transforming the basic project template (for desktop target) into a java 9 project (with module-info.java) make the project non runnable.

Reproduction steps/code

I just added the module-info.java for project core and desktop in eclipse: Right click on project name => Configure => Create module-info.java This command will also transform the classpath entries into modulepath entries (for java9 modules).

I need java9 module because I want to extensively use services.

By the way, I think you should add the module-info.java into libgdx jars to be java9 compliant (and this shouldn’t break anything I suppose?).

LibGDX v1.9.8

My workaround for this issue was to merge all of libGDX and its dependencies into a single jar and including a module descriptor in it as well. Then you just depend on this single modularized jar instead of all libGDX stuff. This is really ugly, but it avoids the downsides of automatic modules.

I’m closing this, since we’re already in the process of changing the setup tool.
