> Java 9's module system broke just about every Java <=8 project I've ever seen.
As far as I understand, some IDE's and built automation tools did not rollout support for module system immediately, yes?

The problem isn't necessarily that the compiler isn't called right, but rather that a lot of existing library code suddenly didn't work anymore. By compartmentalising code (a welcome improvement!), projects that weren't designed for this compartmentalisation need a lot of "basically turn off Java module restrictions" command line flags to the JVM.
