For the problem at hand I see two possible solutions:
- the "hack" of forging the ModulePackages attribute
- rename the folder to change it from encapsulated (a) to legacy (c).
Both options have some kind of negative smell, so let me ask: which
solution is recommended when trying to group legalese files in a
folder inside a jar that should NEVER be subjected to JPMS-specific
conflict checks?
The JAR file format doesn't have a standard location for such files.
Also the`jar` tool doesn't have an option to exclude specific locations
when it computes the set of packages. The top-level directory or a
location such as META-INF/legal will work of course.
