Hi, Just wanted to mention for anyone ending up here as it is related: In Gradle's Java Module support (since Gradle 6.5) we faced the same issue as it fits the input/output model of Gradle tasks better if the *compileJava* task does all the class file creation/modification. So in Gradle it is possible to set the ModuleMainClass attribute on the compileJava task. It is implemented by rewriting the module-info.class with ASM right after it was created by the Java compiler.
