Description

@DJViking commented on Tue Jun 19 2018

The application plugin run configuration seems unnecessary.
https://guides.gradle.org/building-java-9-modules/#modify_the_code_run_code_task_to_use_modules

It works fine without both run{} and startScripts{} configurations running Gradle 4.8 on JDK 10.

Could it be changed from Gradle 4.7 which the Guide was targeted for?

Research direction

Start with the “Modify the run task to use modules” section of the linked Java 9 modules guide and compare its run{} and startScripts{} configuration with Gradle 4.8 on JDK 10. Done means the guide accurately reflects whether those configurations are needed for the supported Gradle and JDK versions.
