             Summary: Add support for single maven projects
                 Key: MJLINK-49
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MJLINK-49
             Project: Maven JLink Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha-1
            Reporter: Leif Gruenwoldt


This initially took me a while to figure out, but the documentation says the 
plugin currently won't work for a single maven project and requires a 
multi-module project. To me this is a huge assumption for Java projects. For 
example not a single one of my projects is multi-module and I rarely see other 
multi-module projects, so this seems like a large limitation right now. 

My work around for this limitation is to run the jlink command outside of mvn, 
without the jlink plugin. But I'd love to perform the jlink step within my 
pom.xml if single maven project support were added,

"Usually you will use the Maven JLink Plugin to create a Run Time Image from 
one or more modules within a multi module build. In other words it is not 
possible to create a Run Time Image from a single Maven Project within the same 
single Maven Project. Let us assume you have a multi module structure which 
contains two modules"
