[jira] [Commented] (DIGESTER-190) Incorrect Symbolic Name Causing Module Creation Error In Apache Netbeans

["Joerg Schaible (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIGESTER-190?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16675569#comment-16675569 ] 

Joerg Schaible commented on DIGESTER-190:
-----------------------------------------

Sorry, but your analysis is somewhat wrong. The Bundle-SymbolicName is an entry for OSGi and has nothing to do with the JPMS. Digester is simply one of a gazillion other Java archives that have been released before Java 9 (or simply without an Automatic-Module-Name). In such a case, JPMS will normally derive the module name from the file name directly if you insist to put the archive into the module path.

Why NetBeans tries to do this, I have no idea, because normally such a library should become part of the "unnamed module". So either NetBeans has a problem with elderly archives or you failed to configure your project properly.

> In my Netbeans 9 project, I attempted to add Digester and Lang 3 as Jigsaw modules.  Both were added to the module path by Netbeans via a wizard 
> module XmlTrans {
>   requires opencsv;
>   requires org.apache.commons.lang3;
>   requires commons.digester;
> }
>  However, the project produced the following error when compiled:
> Compiling 14 source files to /home/sumner/JNB/NetBeansProjectsPre9.0/Applications/XmlTrans/build/classes
> /home/sumner/JNB/NetBeansProjectsPre9.0/Applications/XmlTrans/src/module-info.java:10: error: module not found: commons.digester
>  requires commons.digester;
> 1 error
> BUILD FAILED (total time: 1 second)
> It is not possible to change the statement “requires commons.digester” to  “org.apache.common.digester3” to correct the problem.
> Interestingly, both libraries use the same org.apache.commons directory structure in their jars with the library name at the end as .digester3 and .lang3 respectively. 
> A comparison of the MANAFEST.MFs  however reveals the potential problem.  In the case of Lang3 the manifest lists:
> Automatic-Module-Name: org.apache.commons.lang3
> Bundle-SymbolicName: org.apache.commons.lang3
> Whereas the Digester manifest only references:
> Bundle-SymbolicName: org.apache.commons.digester
>  
> Obviously, the error lies with the digester manifest.
