Automatic Module Name

[fredrik-yttergren]

Hi. Thanks for an excellent library. I'm currently looking at migration from Java 8 to Java 11 in projects at work and am having issues relating to the module path, especially with the lack of automatic module name for this project. I understand the value of remaining compatible with Java 6, so would suggest that you add an Automatic-Module-Name entry to your manifest-file to make life easier for people using the module path as well as "reserving" a name for future reference.

I'm not well versed in Maven, but I think something like the below would work:

<plugin>
    <artifactId>maven-jar-plugin</artifactId>
    <version>2.4</version>
    <configuration>
        <archive>
            <manifestEntries>
                <Automatic-Module-Name>com.flipkart.zjsonpatch</Automatic-Module-Name>
            </manifestEntries>
        </archive>
    </configuration>
</plugin>

Cheers!

Thanks, @fredrik-yttergren for bringing out the issue. Please allow me a couple of days to try and test it out ( since I haven't used Java 11 and need a bit of background before doing the requests change :) OR feel free to raise a PR )

Sure, no worries, I'm just learning it myself right now by trial and error ;)

This issue seems to persist in 2020 - any update on how to deal with it?
