             Summary: Recognize source of name for automatic modules
                 Key: MDEP-580
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MDEP-580
             Project: Maven Dependency Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: resolve
            Reporter: Robert Scholte


There are 2 kinds of automatic modules:
* based of the filename
* from the Automatic-Module-Name attribute in the MANIFEST file.

The latter can be considered safe to refer to, since the maintainer has picked this name. Using it should still be done with care

To show the difference I'd propose a subtle difference in their display:
* -- name.from.filename (auto)
* -- name.from.manifest \[auto]

Just like with versions the brackets refer to a locked item, we can do the same here.
