             Summary: Add module-info.java
                 Key: JENA-2253
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JENA-2253
             Project: Apache Jena
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Jena
    Affects Versions: Jena 4.3.2
            Reporter: Svante Schubert


I am quite new to the Java 9 modularity,  but my developers told me that it can 
be "enabled" by adding some basic module metadata in a {{module-info.java }}at 
the root of the java sources.

Therefore, I suggest adding a module-info to your Jena project, so that users 
who are using a java module based project setup can benefit from this.

We, the ODF Toolkit, are using Jena and we started such 
{{{}module-info.java{}}}: 

[https://github.com/tdf/odftoolkit/pull/149/files]

But somehow as soon we got this metadata the Java classes of the 
jena-core-tests JAR can no longer be found.
The tests are not in our package list as we use them just during build/test 
time.

Perhaps I can make one of you curious enough to test to create such simple 
{{module-info.java }} files to the root of your Java sources similar as done in 
the PR from us: [https://github.com/tdf/odftoolkit/pull/149]

(The other reason for this issue, is also that we face an anomaly of lacking to 
find your jena-core-tests classes after using this new module-info.java. I hope 
that this phenomenon goes away when you add your module-info.java as well. 
Currently, [accessing the jena-core-tests via pom.xml in the old 
way,https://github.com/tdf/odftoolkit/blob/master/odfdom/pom.xml#L72] but the 
[new way using apache-jena-libs in 
pom.xml|https://jena.apache.org/download/maven.html does not work either.).

Thanks in advance,

Svante
