Re: BC jdk15on 1.62 incompatible with JDK 8

This issue should be marked as invalid, as all the issues caused by 
tools try to access data they shouldn't access. The module-info.java 
file is obvious a Java9 feature - when some tools rely on Java8 try to 
do some with it they're not supposed to (like proguard obfuscation) - so 
it's wrong to blame the lib but rather it should be reported to the 
tools failing with that specific class.

That's just my opinion ...
