Compile Errors Using JDK 9 - 167

Question

I just downloaded jdk9 build 167 and wanted to continue testing the new modular system. I did this already with the previous build (I don’t remember which one). Now I installed 167 and uninstall the old JDK. When I try to compile now, I get an error message:

error: the file must be on the source path or on the repair path for the module

If I remove module-info.java (while in the src root path), it compiles in order. Anyone else have problems or am I missing something in the release notes?
