This is because if fx is compiled with a jdk version which does not have
jdk.unsupported.desktop module then having module-info.java in its
original place would cause compilation error as module-info.java contains
requires static jdk.unsupported.desktop;
So, the idea was to copy the file into a directory which is not on the
module-source-path. Then build.gradle copy it from there to gensrc
directory optionally filtering the above line
task copyModuleInfo(type: Copy, description: "copy module-info file to
gensrc") {
from "src/main/module-info/module-info.java"
into "$buildDir/gensrc/java/"
filter { line->
!HAS_UNSUPPORTED_DESKTOP &&
line.contains('jdk.unsupported.desktop') ? null : line
}
}

Hi,
I didn't follow all the latest changes to the Swing module, but I notice
now its module-info.java file is not in the same place where other modules
have theirs:
It's under javafx.swing\src\main\module-info instead of
javafx.<other>\src\main\java.
Is there a reason for this?
