One problem is that frameworks like Spring Boot need to scan the classes
that are available in a module, to get a list of the names of all the
classes, among other things. The JDK provides no standard way to do that.
For example, how would you implement a class like this one?
The ModuleReader is the API for listing or accessing the contents of a
module. With these frameworks then then it would be a lot more efficient
to do these things at build or link time. At one point there was
discussion and prototypes of doing the indexing in a jlink plugin.
