AFAIK "classpath-mode" is not affected by Jigsaw. All of classpath is one big module so "anything goes". As long as all of your code is on the classpath or a custom class loader created from the classpath anything should continue to work with 9 and even in 10. Things only start to break if you:

- reflect on JDK internals

- you put your code or frameworks or libraries in the modulepath
