Stefan, I am curious about your suggestion. Truthfully, I am not a fan of making the JAR structure more complex; I think the 1:1 relationship between physical artifact and module is easy and clean. However, I do wonder if your suggestion can be met by the JMOD format? I think that format has as one of its requirements the ability to bundle multiple resources together. If that's the case, I see that as an easier avenue than adding complexity to the JAR.
Cheers, Paul
