Gary, if you are transitioning to use Java 9 modules I think it is appropriate that it be expected that only the latest versions will support them. Upgrading to Java 9 is not going to be as simple as just replacing the java runtime and running. They have removed lots of deprecated classes. See http://www.infoworld.com/article/3171299/java/oracle-preps-developers-for-java-9-upgrade.html <http://www.infoworld.com/article/3171299/java/oracle-preps-developers-for-java-9-upgrade.html>. Heck, we know that even Log4j 1.x has problems without a hack to fix it (see https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/commit/01e56add155e723640 <https://github.com/qos-ch/slf4j/commit/01e56add155e723640>).
