Method too large error:
if I understand this correct from the badass jlink docs, all non modular jars are merged together in a single module and thus require no entry in the java list of modules that is this method, that is throwing the method too large error.

The badass-jlink plugin takes a more pragmatic approach by combining all non-modular dependencies into a single jar. This way, only the resulting merged module needs a module descriptor.

Method too large error:

I was in the jlink code - I think, we need to work on that method. I think, we want to learn how to generate bytecode, don't we?

[Siedlerchr]

Handbook:
https://asm.ow2.io/asm4-guide.pdf

We would need to generate smaller methods and add references to these smaller methods then to the main module descriptor method

[Siedlerchr]

Method too large was fixed by us and is now integrated in JDK 21.0.1 as well
