JPMS modules

[kb-1000]

While the artifacts currently contain Automatic-Module-Name declarations in the manifest, which should make them usable from other JPMS modules, they don't have an actual module-info, which is required to use them with jlink for example.
Instead of being automatic modules, at least the library artifacts should have support for being loaded as actual named modules.
(Unfortunately, the unmaintained patched ANTLR fork as well as the collections library you use appear to be incompatible with this though)

We're looking into moving off of both ANTLR and said collections library. Especially a collections lib is tricky.

It would really help rolling this in if you could flesh out (links to issues etc) this description somewhat (or go straight ahead and submit a PR) It doesn't even seem unreasonable to me to keep a Draft PR going, pending replacement of ANTLR & Paguro removal.

Sure, I could make a PR. Though, shaded JARs could be a problem there (especially pkl-cli-java, afaict), you kinda have to either make them not modules, or relocate the packages of dependencies to avoid any conflicts.
Regarding issue links - upstream ANTLR does have an automatic module name as well which would make depending on it from a named module possible, but no module-info by itself yet (see antlr/antlr4#2946), while the fork doesn't. Paguro seems to be inactive, but I guess I could try to open an issue/send a PR there as well.

The org.pkl.core.parser.antlr.pklLexer class conflicts with other artifacts using the original version of the antlr-runtime and fails in runtime, due to fully incompatible versions of the ATNDeserializer (at least that). It would be great to either migrate to the original antlr or to move off of antlr.

Meanwhile, can someone think of a workaround to such a conflict?

@holzensp I've built a version of Paguro and Antlr4 locally which uses modules, allowing Pkl to build with a full modulepath compile. Since Pkl intends to move off these libraries eventually, they probably won't get version bumped (and see little activity anyway). If you'd like, I can post a PR which uses these libs.

Oh for the record since I don't want to hold up progress here or anything, I was looking into it for a few hours but I'm no longer working on this since the project I wanted pkl for (ideally as JPMS modules) is on hold for now
