Robert Scholte commented on MJAVADOC-499:
-----------------------------------------

If I add a {{module-info.java}} to my project, I expect it to be compiled and added to my classes. If somebody uses an older version of Java, I would like to see the build break to make that developer aware that must use Java 9 to compile this project. The module descriptor contains to much important info to be simply ignored. 
Even though javadoc is about reporting, I prefer to let it behave as strict as the maven-compiler-plugin.

I can only imagine that if the module descriptor was NOT compiled, then this file can be ignored as well for javadoc. In fact: all compiled classes should match all javadoc sourcefiles.

> Versions of the javadoc tool prior to Java 9 cannot process `module-info.java`. The plugin should automatically detect and exclude `module-info.java` if the javadoc tool is Java 8 or earlier. The alternative (Java version specific profiles) does work, but is very verbose for something that can never work (thus the plugin should deal with it)
