----------------------------------------
Summary: Add advice message in case automodules are used
Key: MCOMPILER-293
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-293
Project: Maven Compiler Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Robert Scholte

As mentioned by the JSR-376 project lead:

Strongly advise developers never to publish, for broad use, explicit modules
that require automatic modules. That's risky: An automatic module is
unreliable, since it can depend on types on the class path, and its name and
exported packages could change if and when it's converted into an explicit
module. It's fine to declare and use explicit modules that require automatic
modules in limited settings, but they should never be published to Maven
Central or any similar public repository.

The maven-compiler-plugin should help making people aware of it. In case of an
application (without exported packages) the message should be at INFO level,
for libraries (with exported packages) the message should be at warning level.
