Can't run embeded Vert.x under JDK9

[twasyl]

Hello,

I'm currently trying to migrate SlideshowFX to JDK9 (build 161 with Jigsaw).
The application embeds Vert.x in order to provide a WebServer. Until now I have been using Vert.x 3.3.3 and the application was running "well". Now I'm trying to use versions 3.4.0 and 3.4.1 and when starting the application, I've got the following error and the application can't boot:

Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
java.lang.module.FindException: java.io.IOException: Provider class moduleName = io.vertx.ext.web.handler.VirtualHostHandler-module not in module
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Provider class moduleName = io.vertx.ext.web.handler.VirtualHostHandler-module not in module

When looking at the source code of vertx-web, I can see the META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ExtensionModule file. As specified by the ServiceLoader class, such files are used in order to define services not developed as JPMS modules but running as JAR files on the classpath. I suppose the addition of this file is intentional by the Vert.x developers but I can't figure out how to be able to start SlideshowFX again.

Have you encountered such issue and were able to fix it?

Thanks

hi can you open this issue on the Vert.x Web issue tracker instead ? https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-web
