JUnit5, Javadoc not working with module-info.java [message #1849185]

I downloaded and installed a fresh version of Eclipse 2021-12 for Java developers. I followed the instructions given in (forum won't allow a link here, search for junit-tutorial-for-beginner-with-eclipse, it just goes through the basic steps of creating a project and adding a JUnit5 test with all the standard settings).

This works if the box to add module-info.java is NOT checked when the Java project is created. If the box is checked to add module-info.java, then errors are generated such as "The type org.junit.jupiter.api.Assertions is not accessible."

I was able to get the Junit test running by manually editing the build properties. I moved the JUnit5 library from the Classpath to the Modulepath and then added "requires org.junit.jupiter.api;" to the module-info file. However, this breaks Javadoc generation, with the error "module not found: org.junit.jupiter.api"

I could try adding a --module-path to the Javadoc VM, but what would the path be for the built-in JUnit5 library?

Is this the same problem that breaks Javadoc when one module project depends on another? Is there a --module-path to an Eclipse Java module project that points to what Javadoc needs?

I noticed that if the box to include a module-info is unchecked when creating a project, that becomes the default for other project creations.

Same problem: didn't know that the option of accepting a module-info.java would have such results. Could create a JUnit file automatically, but with error messages like you wrote. When deleting this info file, the JUnit errors vanish immediately!

Best regards!
