             Summary: Add Automatic-Module-Name to xercesImpl.jar manifest
                 Key: XERCESJ-1763
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESJ-1763
             Project: Xerces2-J
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Other
            Reporter: Thomas Reinhardt


Adding an automatic module name makes the xercesImpl.jar usable in JPMS enabled builds without affecting non-JPMS builds.

Only a single line in MANIFEST.MF is needed:
{code:java}
Automatic-Module-Name: org.apache.xerces.impl{code}
 

 

For ultimate compatibility the module name could be just _xercesImpl_ (which is the module name derived from the filename). But that name does not follow conventions.

The proposed module name ({_}org.apache.xerces.impl{_}) also has problems as it is not the super-package in the jar ({_}org.apache{_} is, but that clearly is not usable either).
