   @cschneider Right, most of our dependencies are not full-fledged Java modules (and I think it will take a long time for it to happen). Adding `Automatic-Module-Name` is a first step towards embracing JPMS by introducing consistent module names (instead of relying on the name derived from JAR file). 
   
   To give you an idea, the example I posted in the description contains the declaration to dependent `Jetty` modules:
   
   ```
   requires jetty.server;
   requires jetty.servlet;
   requires jetty.util;
   ```
   
   Those are deducted from JAR file names.
