A service interface is provided but not exported or a warning is used in the-info class module

Question

Java9 - jdk-9+181 intelliJ - 2017.2.2 built on August 9,2017 

The implementation of java.management.rmi module-info.java looks something like this:

 module java.management.rmi { ... requires transitive java.management; exports com.sun.jmx.remote.protocol.rmi to java.management; provides javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorProvider with com.sun.jmx.remote.protocol.rmi.ClientProvider; provides javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorServerProvider with com.sun.jmx.remote.protocol.rmi.ServerProvider; } 

For the provides statement, I received a compiler message with the message

Service interface provided but not exported or not used

In the end, I did not understand when I tried to use them in another module:

 module interactor { requires java.management.rmi; uses javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorProvider; } 

The warning still remains.

In addition, I could also reach java.management to find

 uses javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorProvider; uses javax.management.remote.JMXConnectorServerProvider; 

What is the reason for this warning and how can this be resolved?

For any future links, this may turn out to be relevant due to some regressions in IntelliJ updates, answering it myself.

This was a bug with IntelliJ and was tracked on IDEA-178041 , resulting in:

exclusion of some JDK modules or libraries from the module graph used to generate an alert.
