I have troubles trying to import this library with Gradle. It downloads it fine and is added to the dependencies but can't use it in code.
After some tries it seems to come from the name of the jar file that is downloaded (something like CurseAPI-<commit hash>). Java 9+ may have some trouble to give it an automatic module name because of the hash (as it may contains letters) and thus make it impossible to require it.
If the name matches the regular expression "-(\d+(\.|$))" then the module name will be derived from the subsequence preceding the hyphen of the first occurrence.
So I wonder if there is a way (and if you want) to make JitPack use a more common version numbering or use the Automatic-Module-Name attribute in the manifest.
Edit:
Using the master-SNAPSHOT version is fine but gives a module name of CurseAPI.master.SNAPSHOT which isn't really the best.
Actually running the app throws an exception because of the hash:
Error occurred during initialization of boot layer
