Problem with gradle en eclipse because of automatic modules

[MrKuip]

Gradle and eclipse still do not support automatic modules very well.

They only accept automatic modules when the jar has a Automatic-Module-Name property in the MANIFEST.MF.

The command 'jar -d --file compiler-2.25ea2.jar' displays module information:

No module descriptor found. Derived automatic module.

[email protected] automatic
requires java.base mandated
contains net.openhft.compiler
contains net.openhft.compiler.internal

it shows that the calculated module descriptor is 'compiler'. Maybe a better name could be supplied.

Could you please add a Automatic-Module-Name property in the manifest? (or create a proper module with module-info.class)

Hi @MrKuip. Could you provide more details of how it exactly affects you (and what would be a 'correct' name)? Cause artifactId is actually compiler. Thus auto-derived module name is correct.

[MrKuip]

There are 2 options to make this work for gradle:

1. There should be a Automatic-Module-Name property in the manifest.
2. The library should have a proper module-info.class.

An auto-derived module name is not handled bij gradle.
