Support Java Modules

[aalmiray]

v1.7.2 defines an automatic module name

$ jarviz module name --gav com.ethlo.time:itu:1.7.0
subject: itu-1.7.0.jar
name: itu
source: filename
automatic: true
valid: true

$ jarviz module descriptor --gav com.ethlo.time:itu:1.7.0
subject: itu-1.7.0.jar
name: itu
version: 1.7.0
open: false
automatic: true
requires:
  java.base mandated
contains:
  com.ethlo.time
  com.ethlo.time.internal

$ jarviz bytecode show --gav com.ethlo.time:itu:1.7.0
subject: itu-1.7.0.jar
Unversioned classes. Bytecode version: 52 (Java 8) total: 18

I'd be great if the library supplied a full Java module descriptor. It's possible to keep bytecode baseline compatible with Java 8 while providing a full module descriptor thanks to ModiTect. This will help modular projects that consume this library, specifically those that create custom Java Runtimes with jlink, as the latter does not support automatic modules but explicit modules. If interested I can send a PR to make it happen.

Hi! Thanks for your request.
This is not something I have any experience with. Do you need the descriptor added and also a version that is Java 8 bytecode compatible?

[aalmiray]

Yes, exactly. Both conditions are required. Here's how the PR could look like networknt/json-schema-validator#728

Btw, I could also prepare a GH workfklow for build/test.

[ethlo]

Yes, both options sounds like an improvement to me, thank you!
