I'm experimenting with an application that consists of proper modules (with
module-info), where one module A requires an automatic module Lib. After
creating modular jars for my application modules and running the application
with both the application modules and the non-modular Lib-jar on the
modulepath, everything works as expected.
Now, I try to create a runtime image for my application using jlink. I add
module A using --addmods, and again put both my application modules and the
Lib-jar on the --modulepath of jlink. This results in the following error:
Error: jdk.tools.jlink.plugin.PluginException: module-info.class not found for
Lib module
Is this expected behavior?
There isn't currently any support for automatic modules at link-time. We
have an issue tracking it [1] but I think requires thinking through
whether it's the right thing to do.
