But why to add it? It's a hack. I do not use module-info.java and so there
is no reason to break the backwards compatibility.
This is no more about Maven. It is about entire Java world.
If we in Maven do it then everybody has to.
And I am sure that the voices says that Kotlin is better and Scala is
better would make sense. Why to help these attempts to happen? No reason!
