JPMS support

[shs96c]

It would be nice to be able to use jcommander in an app built by jlink. This could be done if it defined a module-info.class for use with JPMS (apparently the automatically declared modules used in the manifest aren't good enough for jlink)

Even without the driver of jlink, integration with JPMS will be useful as more people switch to using modules as a part of their build and when Java 11 ships.

It seems that a module name was published in 1.75 and then withdrawn again in 1.78. What's going on?

I am also looking for this. Hopefully it could be done

The module file is moved outside of the source directory: https://github.com/cbeust/jcommander/blob/master/module-info.java

Idk why.

Hi @cbeust what happened to module-info.java?

Hi, is it possible to get the module_info back in?

Or (for me at least) even just "Automatic-Module-Name: com.beust.jcommander" added to MANIFEST.MF ?

FYI https://picocli.info/ supports JPMS 😉
