you need to add to compil the option "--add-modules java.se.ee".  The pb
is it works for Java 9 but not for Java 8.
To match both, you can do something like:

                <if><equals arg1="${ant.java.version}" arg2="1.8" />
                <then>
                    <javac ....></javac>
                </then>
                <else>
                    <javac ....><compilerarg line="--add-modules
java.se.ee"/></javac>
                </else>
                </if>


In build.xml

Else, an option is to build for Java 1.8 specifically specifying

<javac ... source="1.8" target="1.8">
</javac>

Compilation should work this way. At runtime (execution) with Java9,
user has to add "--add-modules java.se.ee" to the java command-line.
The problem, again, is that if user is using java8, this command is not
recognized.
