Provide an automatic module name for JPMS/Jigsaw #46

Closed glassfishrobot closed 4 years ago

glassfishrobot commented 6 years ago

Hi,

Could the EL jars provide an automatic module name for JPMS/Jigsaw?

It's just a matter of adding an Automatic-Module-Name entry for the maven-bundle-plugin.

From the discussions we had with the Jigsaw folks for Bean Validation, the module name should probably be java.el (not javax.el).

Not sure about you having an API jar and an API + impl jar though.

It would be nice if it could be added in a quick release as all of our Hibernate Validator dependencies now have one, except for EL, and we would like to make progress on this subject.

Thanks!

@arjantijms - is there any change in direction in the naming of the EL module for Jakarta EE? I.e., jakarta.el rather than java.el? A 3.0.x release with either a module-info or an automatic module name in the manifest would be helpful. I am happy to do a PR depending on the answer.

The current plan for EL is to take the OSGi bundle name, convert any "-" to "." and use that as the module name.
