Hmm, I guess they're in an unnamed package. How are you making their 
classfiles visible to the compiler? When compiling module-info.java, the 
only types visible will be those in modules required by that very 
module-info.java. (Unless Bundle.class and Jigsaw.class are on the 
bootclasspath and treated specially, which turns them into 
pseudo-keywords as I've said before.)
