JVM for Windows Intel: Could not jlink: Module java.annotation not found

[zacharee]

Describe the bug I'm trying to create a build for Windows using Conveyor. On 8.2, it would build without issues. With 9.1, I get the following error:

JVM for Windows Intel: Could not jlink: Module java.annotation not found

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Clone this repo: https://github.com/zacharee/ArcadyanKVD21Control.
2. Run conveyor make window-zip (or site, or anything that does a Windows build).
3. The process will error out.

I tested on both Windows 11 and macOS 13.5.

Expected behavior The build should succeed.

Thanks for the bug report! A workaround is to add this to your config:

app.jvm.modules += -java.annotation

We tried it with your project and this let the build complete. We didn't try running the app itself because it starts at a login screen.

The problem is that the code assumes any module starting with java. comes with the JDK. This one is an exception for historical reasons (also java.activation I think). So we'll get that fixed.

Thanks, that made it build successfully!
