As a proof of concept, I wrote a quick-and-dirty demo that can load
Jigsaw modules from a Uber-JAR file:

Glavo, would something like this fit your needs?
I think something like this could be done outside the JDK (in frameworks
like S
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?

Well, we can still use ZipInputStream just to list files from a JAR, but
it's not exactly efficient. Would anyone want to make class scanning 10x
slower just to support modules? Probably not

A module can indicate its main class by setting the ModuleMainClass
attribute in its module-info.class. This can be done by running with
"jar --main-class=xxx" when creating a modular JAR file.
The module system allows you to enumerate all the modules in a
ModuleLayer. For each module, you can
