----------------------------------------

Hi [~hg@apteryx.fr] - sorry for only replying now. 


 * Can you give us more details what you mean by "filtering out"? Whhaht is the expected jlink(.exe) call?
 * Could other projects break?
 * Did you consider or try to use optional/provided dependencies?

>             Project: Maven JLink Plugin
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>    Affects Versions: 3.1.0

> The plugin currently adds to the jlink image all modules found in the Maven dependencies. If such modules are automatic modules, jlink will fail.
> This prevents, for instance, to build the image of an application using JavaFX jars since JavaFX uses an empty automatic module (e.g. in javafx-controls-17.0.2.jar) as a dependency bridge between applications and platform specific jars (e.g.  javafx-controls-17.0.2-linux.jar).
> Could you consider filtering out automatic modules ?
