Error: log4j-api-2.9.0.jar is a multi-release jar file but --multi-release option is not set

Exploring the maven-jdeps-plugin:3.1.0 with Java9 using the following minimal pom.xml:-

<dependencies>
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.logging.log4j</groupId>
        <artifactId>log4j-api</artifactId>
        <version>2.9.0</version>
    </dependency>
</dependencies>

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-compiler-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.7.0</version>
            <configuration>
               <source>1.9</source>
               <target>1.9</target>
            </configuration>
        </plugin>

        <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-jdeps-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>3.1.0</version>
            <executions>
                <execution>
                    <goals>
                        <goal>jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify main classes -->
                        <goal>test-jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify test classes -->
                    </goals>
                </execution>
            </executions>
        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

On executing

mvn install

I end up getting a detailed error that reads the following:-

[INFO] Error: log4j-api-2.9.0.jar is a multi-release jar file but --multi-release option is not set
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------

I couldn't find much relevance related to --multi-release flag in either jdeps:jdkinternals goal detailed on Maven's official site or even in the jdeps tool documented at Oracle help center.

Can someone throw some light on this implementation in maven-jdeps-plugin? Is there a way to fix this(set the --multi-release option)?

Regarding the plugin itself, following configuration works.

  <plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jdeps-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>3.1.1</version>
    <executions>
      <execution>
        <goals>
          <goal>jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify main classes -->
          <goal>test-jdkinternals</goal> <!-- verify test classes -->
        </goals>
      </execution>
    </executions>
    <configuration>
      <multiRelease>9</multiRelease> <!-- Check this out -->
    </configuration>
  </plugin>

This is user error. Please enter jdeps -? on the command line. You will see you need to enter

jdeps --multi-release 9 ~/.m2/repository/org/apache/logging/log4j/log4j-api/2.9.1/log4j-api-2.9.1.jar
