Hi @cowwoc,

Thank you for your suggestion! Currently, our project is using Java 8, and module support (introduced in Java 9 with module-info.java) is not compatible with this version. Therefore, we're unable to add it at the moment. However, it's definitely on our roadmap, and we'll consider adding module-info.java when we upgrade to a version of Java that supports modules, most likely in a future release.

@tanya732 Actually, that is not true. You can add Java Module support while maintaining backwards compatibility for Java 8. Just add the module-info.class to META-INF/versions/9. See https://blog.gradle.org/mrjars#how-to-create-a-multi-release-jar-with-gradle for more information.
