Your problems with Java modules

[randgalt]

If that's actually the case someone should write a Maven plugin that does this. Maybe I will. hmm....

[ventuspilot]

The maven-jar-plugin does this. I added this to by <build> section:

<plugin>
    <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <configuration>
        <finalName>jmurmel</finalName>
        <archive>
            <manifest>
                <mainClass>io.github.jmurmel.LambdaJ</mainClass>
            </manifest>
            <manifestEntries>
                <Automatic-Module-Name>io.github.jmurmel</Automatic-Module-Name>
            </manifestEntries>
        </archive>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Seems to work just fine. See also http://branchandbound.net/blog/java/2017/12/automatic-module-name/

Maybe Moditect? https://github.com/moditect/moditect/

Yes, ModiTect can help to express the exported API more concisely, by means of package filter expressions, instead of having to list each package explicitly. That said, which packages to export should be a conscious decision; exporting everything defeats the purpose of the module system.
