    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-BETA
            Reporter: Andres Almiray


v3.0.0-BETA defines an automatic module name

$ jarviz module name --gav org.apache.tika:tika-core:3.0.0-BETA
subject: tika-core-3.0.0-BETA.jar
name: org.apache.tika.core
source: manifest
automatic: true
valid: true

$ jarviz module descriptor --gav org.apache.tika:tika-core:3.0.0-BETA
subject: tika-core-3.0.0-BETA.jar
name: org.apache.tika.core
version: 3.0.0-BETA
open: false
automatic: true
requires:
  java.base mandated
provides:
  org.apache.tika.metadata.filter.MetadataFilter with org.apache.tika.metadata.filter.NoOpFilter

I'd be great if the library supplied a full Java module descriptor. It's possible to keep bytecode baseline compatible with Java 8 while providing a full module descriptor thanks to [ModiTect|https://github.com/moditect/moditect]. This will help modular projects that consume feign-form, specifically those that create custom Java Runtimes with jlink, as the latter does not support automatic modules but explicit modules. If interested I can send a PR to make it happen.

FWIW the whole of Apache Commons project has embraced ModiTect.
