2. Why compilation doesn’t fail in case several modules with same name

Just to Alex's comment on this point. The behavior you observe is
specific to exploded modules. If the module path is a directory of two
JAR files containing modules of the same name then javac will detect the
duplicate as you would expect.
4. If there are 3 conflicting modules in module path error says only
about 2 first modules conflict only. Why that? Fail fast?
The java launcher has a `--validate-modules` options which can be useful
to report all potential errors without failing fast. It's particularly
useful when starting out with a module path that has a lot of automatic
modules that may have conflicting packages and other issues.
