the good news is that <compilerarg> seems to be recognised by javac
the bad news is when running
>ant compile
build.xml:16: Error starting modern compiler
javac -version
9.04
ant -version
Apache Ant(TM) version 1.10.2 compiled on February 3 2018
/*the sad news is that patch-module seems to work in maven
maven-compiler-plugin.here is pom.xml */
<plugin>

advice on getting --patch-module to properly configure in <javac> will be
appreciated!
