What I don't understand is the reasoning why the
module.getDescription().version() then returns a version for an
automatic module like sprint.core? it is not an explicit module on
which javac can do its magic, so where is that version information
stored when there is no module-info?
The module version is derived from the name of the JAR file. If the JAR
file is named spring-core-5.0.0.M1.jar then the module version will be
"5.0.0.M1". All the details are in the ModuleFinder spec. javac doesn't
derive a module version so there isn't a version string to record at
compile-time.
