When using JarFile(File), the default value for the verify argument is true. We're switching to false. Is that on purpose ? I don't really think we need signature verification at this point, right ?

Yes, the JAR file is opened only for extracting the module name, either from the module-info.class or from the MANIFEST.MF file. I thought that verifying the JAR file was an overkill in that situation.

By default,
java.util.jar.JarFiledoes not search for resources inMETA-INF/versions/sub-directories. For enabling this feature, we need to specify a version greater than Java 8 to the constructor. The core change of this pull request is this line:The rest is for answering the question: "which target Java version"? An easy approach would have been to set
targetunconditionally toRuntime.version(), i.e. the Java version on which Maven is running. This pull request rather allows configuration, with the intend to set the target version to the value of the--releasetarget option. This value can determine whether a dependency will be placed on the class-path or on the module-path. For example, if themodule-info.classentry of a JAR file exists only in theMETA-INF/versions/17/sub-directory, then the default location of that dependency will be the module-path only if the--releaseoption is equal or greater than 17.This pull request fixes the initial topic of apache/maven-compiler-plugin#966.
