Let me just jump into the discussion at this point:

For all the reasons Robert mention, Maven plugins and the Core would not
only very hard to turn into modules but such a conversion would offer
little benefit.

*But* for more library-like components of Maven (e.g., maven-resolver,
maven-dependency-analyzer, animal-sniffer) providing a module descriptor
may indeed offer some benefit, as I can imagine these being used
*outside* a Maven plugin on the module path of some standalone
application. Also, due to their library-like nature, we may see less
split packages (although maven-resolver is the counter-example here).

Just my 2 cents.

Best wishes,

Andreas
