Hello, I did another update of my libraries to support Java 9 and found out that Byte Buddy cannot easily be used as an automatic module. It is published as byte-buddy.jar to Maven Central where its automatic module name would be byte.buddy. This does however not compile due to "byte" being a keyword in Java. Here is what javac gives me:
src/module-info.java:2: error: <identifier> expected requires byte.buddy; ^ 1 error I expect that this is not a common problem but not an uncommon one either. Looking for artifacts named after Java keywords in Maven Central, you can find quite a few. I do not know if this is technically feasible but I suggest that module names should not come with any restrictions due to the historic freedom in naming which would just cause confusion if some projects had to be renamed just to satisfy the module descriptors restrictions. Best regards, Rafael
