A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
The canonical order of declarations inside the module-info.java file seems to follow the order:

`module some.module.name {
requires ...

requires transitive ...

exports ...

exports ... to ...

opens ... to ...

uses ...

provides ... with ...
}
`

The "requires" was changed to "requires transitive" as part of a larger change 8248564, but not reordered.

This is the only module-info.java file in the src/** directory that deviates from what appears to be the canonical order.


REGRESSION : Last worked in version 15

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
Look at the /src/jdk.management.jfr/share/classes/module-info.java file. It reads:

module jdk.management.jfr {
    requires transitive jdk.jfr;
    requires jdk.management;

    requires transitive java.management;

....

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
In order to stay consistent with the canonical order, this should have read:

module jdk.management.jfr {
    requires jdk.management;

    requires transitive java.management;
    requires transitive jdk.jfr;

ACTUAL -
module jdk.management.jfr {
    requires transitive jdk.jfr;
    requires jdk.management;

    requires transitive java.management;

....

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
It is not a serious issue.

FREQUENCY : always
