Maven Standard Directory Layout Incompatible with Java 9+ Modules

It appears Oracle designed the new Java Platform Module System (JPMS) without taking into consideration the directory layout that popular build tools like Maven use. I ran into this issue when I could not use Maven to consolidate JavaDoc across multiple Java 9+ modules:

In particular, see the Sept. 1 issue comment by Martin Desruisseaux. This issue affects not only the javadoc tool, but also javac and jlink. See also Martin's post on the Maven email list:

Martin was told to use Pro to build his projects, because the Maven volunteers don't have enough time to fix it. Pro appears to be a new build tool designed to support building JPMS modules:

I am not aware of Pro support in IntelliJ IDEA. Any ideas for a workaround?
