–add-modules only on compilation [duplicate]

I made this answer a while ago where I answered this as an additional info to exposing non java.se packages in Java-9 using Maven.

The added part specifically focusses on using the standalone version of the
java.xml.* APIs. To adapt to which you can probably start consuming the dependency on jaxb-api:2.3.0 which can be loaded as a module and can be executed from the classpath as well. The change you need to make is to add the following to your dependencies list:

<dependency>
    <groupId>javax.xml.bind</groupId>
    <artifactId>jaxb-api</artifactId>
    <version>2.3.0</version>
</dependency>

This way you ensure migrating to standalone APIs for the module as well as moving away from a deprecated piece of code.
