It took a while for IDEs and tools to catch up, but I still encounter issues with old codebases to this day, using the latest and greatest tools. 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.
